Entropy and complexity are not quite the same thing.

Low entropy is every Lego pieces separated by color and size, high entropy is every Lego pieces mixed up together evenly. Complex creations correspond to medium entropy.

If you compute actions of living beings, you'll realize it acts as a catalyst to increase entropy.
