The apparent paradox represented by the second law's future of decay and the evolution of living structures in nature has been introduced. The second law in its historic-conventional form has been discussed. The corrected version of this law in terms of new research on the foundations of classical thermodynamics has been discussed. Finally a resolution of the apparent paradox has been proposed in the light of these newer advances.
