Casey Luskin, expert on everything:
Quote | There's an old unsophisticated argument against Darwinian evolution that goes something like this: The second law of thermodynamics holds that entropy/disorder always decreases. Darwinian evolution holds that entropy/disorder has increased. Therefore, Darwinian evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Emphasis added.
Say what you will about Duane Gish, but at least Gish knew which way the 2LoT went.
But Casey inadvertently said something correct, which I highlighted in italics. Evolution means that entropy increases, as Brooks and Wiley discussed in their book, "Evolution As Entropy".
Casey does get the direction right in the next paragraph.
