If you have an erroneous view of life and it's origins on earth, you'll come up with variations of this type of thinking.

However, life didn't evolve through a random walk of chemical reactions turning into complex systems with the ability to replicate and gain ever increasing complexity over time. Not possible.

Entropy is increasing.

Increase in entropy does not imply decrease in complexity. Actually physicists believe the relationship between entropy and complexity is more of a bell shape curve.

How else could it have evolved?

Oh look, another person utterly mangling the meaning of the second law of thermodynamics.

Evolution is in no way in contradiction to the 2nd law.
