But when life becomes too evolved it ends up destroying all it produced.
Too evolved? hmmmm. That's another discussion, I think.
But....
Entropy; the final frontier....Life can violate entropy, but only temporarily.
Life creates order out of the status quo (not out of disorder).
Life creates disorder on a wide scale, by creating order on a local scale.
In "creating order" on a local level, life must scavenge from the wider environment; thus generating more entropy than the created 'order' accounts for.
Don't forget about the entropy generated gathering the raw materials just to make the tools used to gather other resources used make the machines that then mold and manufacture other gathered resources into a small, highly ordered product.
The entropy generated by burning the fuel and food alone overwhelms the 'order' created by our civilization.
That 'order' is on a local level only; the surrounding environment is rent asunder, and warmer, thus generating that local, temporary order which keeps civilization humming along (generating even more entropy than the sum of the individual life forms).
Creation and
maintenance of order comes at a high entropic price.
The created order is singular, temporary, and reversible.
That generated entropy is
ongoing, not temporary, or reversible.
When all this is added up, compared to the 'order' created, it can be seen that life is a prodigious generator of entropy.p.s. Especially in the long term.
So yes, let's see how long we can keep evolving and furthering the goals of the universe.
