Plus, as a physics major, evolution and increasing complexity seems to violate the Law of Entropy.

Life on earth is not a closed system, the energy that the sun provides is more than adequate to drive it. If you are indeed a physics major, then your professors have done you a grave disservice in their teachings.
Chris, I advise you find a new major, because you obviously don't understand your own field...
Maybe you could do something that doesn't involve science or any of that hard thinking crap, try creation science.
"Increasing complexity" would also apply to anything that went from one undifferentiated cell to a many-billion cell organism with hundreds or thousands of specialised tissues and organs. You know, like plants and animals.
Your "law of entropy" seems to imply that neither plants or animals could grow, hence is disproved by observation. I hereby demote you to the rank of "physics private".

Been skipping a lot of classes, I see.
He may be in Behe's class. Behe is the author of "increasing complexity" or Irreducible Complexity. Irreducible Complexity is considered a non-scientific argument as both terms are relative and Behe won't and can't define either. "increasing complexity" is in fact a proven occurance over time with complexity still being defined only as different than before. The Elephant man was more complex than you or I, that's how valid "increasing complexity" is as a scientific premise.
Earth is not in a state of Entropy. So much for your major. Yes, I would like fries with that.
Behe is a Biology Professor with the proper credentials but he invests much of his time building strawmen for fun and profit. He even tried to redefine science and was shamed at the Dover trial for the obvious stunt it was.

Oh my god, so both evolution and "increasing complexity" have a physics major, and they are using it to violate the law of entropy? How dare they?!? Someone should report them to the police!
seems to but does not.
study more.
As an occasional physics teacher:
You Fail Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics , which is required for completing your degree.
You may retake the course; but continued failure to achieve a passing grade will result in permanent dismissal from the program.
(I hope that chris_h has learned better in the last 9 years and did complete the degree).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
