Another time? What is the first one you are referring to?
To answer your questions, it happens all the time. They are called supernovae explosions, which you can see easily with a telescope and measure what is going on.
Hydrogen and helium are fused into larger chemicals like oxygen, iron and uranium. Simple rust, iron-Oxide, would be impossible to exist if it weren't for such explosions. It is a more ordered existence then hydrogen, so there you go.
Also, how about snowflakes? Without the heat from the sun (created by an explosion), the more ordered snowflake could not be created from a less ordered drop of water.
By the way, if you are going to use the 2nd law, please understand it. It refers to a CLOSED SYSTEM, and it doesn't state that specific order cannot increase in certain places, only that the AVERAGE entropy will increase.

An explosion creates disorder, then order. It doesn't skip a step. Everything gets blown to pieces, then those pieces are rearranged to form something else.
EDIT: I'm not sure where you're seeing insults. I only saw one response that had any negative connotation whatsoever. Everybody else just answered the question. Maybe if you find the answer you're not looking for insulting, you shouldn't be asking the question.

Who said an explosion ever created order? The order is inherent to the laws of universal function, the explosion provided the energy to follow the order.

The Big Bang happened billions of years ago and all of human history is only a few thousand years old. For all we know, us tossing out a gallon of milk that's gone bad could be creating order but we'd never know it since it's happening so slowly. :P
"As for the Christian viewpoint, not one insult."
Hope mine wasn't insulting. I thought this would be good on both sides of the arguement. :S

Has there ever been any other time in history that a cosmic creative force of any nature created anything? Ever seen God make something?
Why do religious people never bother to apply logical criticism to their beliefs?

Order and Chaos are 2 fundamental parts of the Universe.
One always asserting itself when the other becomes to stringent.
in any case to answer your question, yes.
When stars go super-nova, their material is spread out, eventually joining other nebulas or cosmic formations. Order may be created, and it may not. It's not that hard to conceive.

well considering that there's been only one cosmic explosion that we know of and my crystal ball is in the shop for repairs, that's going to be kinda hard to answer
and what did this have to do with evolution?

This is all second-law stuff from someone who doesn't understand it, I think.
Go back to your Wiki page, look up "open systems" and "closed systems". The answer won't satisfy your prejudices, but there's a chance some sense will seep in.
Also, stop confusing evolutionary biology with cosmology. It looks bad.

Perhaps. I don't know. Do you?
P.S. order is relative. I don't think living and dying is a very orderly way to exist. What's the point?

Scripture says God SPOKE all things into existence with His Word:
" By the Word of the Lord were the heavens created, and all the host by the breath of His mouth. For HE SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST". (psalm 33:9)
