Come back when you've learned something.

Do you seriously think you are the first to show up here spouting this particular line of drivel?

Here's a quote from the site you gave me: "Assigning an energy conversion mechanism to thermodynamics is simply a ploy to distort and pervert the true nature of thermodynamics. "

Then, gives an example of an energy conversion mechanism to explain thermodynamics: "If we unplug a refrigerator..."

Here's the clearest definition of entropy I found via Internet: "Entropy is a thermodynamic property that can be used to determine the energy not available for work in a thermodynamic process, such as in energy conversion devices, engines, or machines."

The site also claims the real reason why creationists use entropy against evolution is because they don't understand entropy and how it should be applied. I'd say whoever wrote it changes the definition himself. Let's see what the evolutionists have to say about the second law and evolution: “The thermodynamicist immediately clarifies the latter question by pointing out that ... biological systems are open, and exchange both energy and matter. The explanation, however, is not completely satisfying, because it still leaves open the problem of how or why the ordering process has arisen (an apparent lowering of the entropy), and a number of scientists have wrestled with this issue. Bertalanffy (1968) called the relation between irreversible thermodynamics and information theory one of the most fundamental unsolved problems in biology.” -C. J. Smith, Biosystems 1:259 (1975)

Now if they are just as confused as we are about entropy and how it applies to evolution, doesn't that say something? We have not changed the definition, nor have done anything wrong by applying it universally.

Remember one of the smartest men alive was a creationist: Isaac Newton, discoverer of the many laws of science, and inventor of calculus.

In all that misleading, contradicting, biased, and error-ridden content you sent me to, it still does not explain my question. Good luck.
