Yes, evolution *requires* entropy. Chilling, isn't it? If everything was
reversible, then evolution could not occur since dead beings could undie
and newborn beings could be unborn. I often think that our view of time
and evolution is just the gradient of entropy.
What we should work against is entropy increase that doesn't lead to
extropy increase.
