Alternatively, all that attempts to control chaos and decrease entropy actually results in faster entropy increase overall on a systemic level. I remember reading about a (Russian?) physicist that believed that life simply happens as a result of the universe's attempt to increase entropy faster on sufficiently complicated systems. If someone remembers his name I'd be obliged.
Dorion Sagan (Yes, Carl Sagan's son) also covers this in his book Into The Cool. That life is only a force multiplier in increasing it universally, basically.
