I read your link on the 2nd Law. It evades the issues. If the 2nd Law cannot be locally circumvented, then almost none of the devices we humans have invented that constitute "civilization" can work. Do you think a grain of sand is more ordered than a microprocessor?

The fact is that as long as there is a continuing source of energy available, the 2nd Law can be locally defied.
