Could you expand on your comment that life has entropy moving from high to low? Doesn't aging increase the entropy in our biological system? I have always thought that we are at our most structured in the early phases of conception with entropy increasing constantly as we age.

Life is essentially a process of creating order (lower entropy) building complex cells and so on using energy and matter from its environment.

Perfectly true that entropy gets us in the end as we age, as the system breaks down and cannot sustain itself any longer. Although if we could fix those systems, there's no reason in principle we couldn't halt aging entirely.

I took it as capital-L Life is moving from high to low. As evolution continues Life seems to evolve ever higher -> lower/more-ordered organisms (as more complex organisms depend on the systems created by simpler organisms prior to themselves).

I am slightly blending the concept of entropy and complexity. But "ordered complexity" is how I imagine it.
