We have ourselves made systems in which computer code writes new computer code, some of which are even modeled on the Darwinian paradigm.  They do not violate the law of entropy because we provide them with energy.

If you want to argue against abiogenesis on the basis of entropy, your case is stronger, but against evolution it doesn't wash because, were it valid, most modern AI systems would also "fly directly in the face of entropy" and would not work.

I will disagree. I do not believe computer code will write itself continually, beyond its programming, nor do I believe that AI will not experience decay.

Darwin has been disproven for long decades.
