While I enjoy many of Schmachtenberger's ideas, he's wrong about this.

Evolution definitely increases entropy, if it didn't it couldn't exist. I can't tell how important this is for his overall argument but it seems like a pretty basic physics mistake to make.

This has always been really confusing to me. Life is clearly more ordered/organized than non-life. How could it be increasing entropy?

Entropy is increased when energy is used. Which causes a larger increase in entropy, a lifeless planet, or Earth?

Clearly Earth. Light that hits Mercury bounces off, only its direction changed. It hits Earth a large fraction sticks, only to be radiated later at a lower frequency (it has lost energy).

We can think of life as an energy diffusion mechanism. Just as wave breakers are irregular structures to diffuse the energy of the ocean, we are irregular structures to diffuse the energy of the sun.

Saying "to" implies a sense of purpose. But it's more appropriate to look at it the other way around. If not for the fact that we diffuse the energy of the sun (in various ways, including building solar panels or digging up and burning the remains of creatures that acted as solar panels themselves) we couldn't exist
