Classical dynamics are deterministic, but we use statistics to describe the physical world because sensitive dependence prevents us from practically measuring a system to a great enough precision for accurate long term modeling. Even if we could do this however, it would be computationally intractable. For these two reasons statistical measures like entropy are valid, but descriptions of their evolution should not be called laws because they they present an inaccurate depiction of the effective causality we observe.
