As I understand it, any local decrease in entropy (as on the Earth) as the Sun's energy is used by organic systems is more than matched by an increase in the entropy of the Sun itself. The total entropy of the Universe as a whole must increase, leading eventually to heat death; but from the point of view of organisms with lifespans of the blink of an eye relative to the Universe, it's the closest to a free lunch we can get away with.
But just for the sake of discussion let's say we accept that evolution flies in the face of physics. What's your alternative?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
