i'll second the critique of your use of the 2nd law.

local systems can increase in complexity, with energy input. also, we're coasting off the big bang...a massive scale energy input. Local increases in complexity do not violate the 2nd law, so long as there is a corresponding increase in entropy elsewhere.

For us, the Sun gets more entropic so that we get light energy. The universe expands (getting more entropic), but certain parts of it bump in to each other and get more complex.
