The energy radiated from the earth is in a higher entropy state than the energy it absorbs. If the theory that biological beings defied the second law were true, you'd expect the opposite to be the case. Life is a kind of machine that uses useful low entropy energy to create organisms, emitting less useful high entropy energy as a byproduct. Not all that different than any other kind of energy-using machine.
