And if you would have bothered to read any of the source, you would have found that entropy applies to my arguement as well.
As I said, the problem isn't with reading, it's with comprehension. Your source doesn't say quite what you think it says. Whenever you read anything about thermodynamics, you should be thinking in terms of energy, not "things".

The suns rays (discussed earlier as evidence that the earth is not a closed system) are generally harmful, causing harmful effects in humans including dry skin, sunburns, actinic keratosis, and changes in skin collagen.
Since the sun introduces ultraviolet rays, that are harmful (minus plants and other organisms that can harness the energy), entropy should increase over time.
Entropy is a quantity that can be measured and/or calculated. "Harm" is a quality - and a pretty subjective one at that. It can't be easily quantified. That's a clue that "harm" doesn't necessarily imply an increase in entropy.
So you can say that entropy increases over time but you can't really say that the entropy of "things" increases over time.
Life is like a Hot Wheels car. Sometimes it goes behind the couch and you can't find it.
