I know evolution isn't always refinement. It's random- however, when it does find a sequence that reduces chaos, it has a tendancy to repeat it. Not all sequences of order lead to additional ones. Moreover, not all sequences are perfect.
I'm not saying that humans are more ordered evolutionary wise. I was just trying to point out the interesting fact that before the theory of evolution was ever presented, humans believed that they were (or life was), the result or absolution of order in the universe.
Some of my facts or concepts might be a bit off. And I don't neccisarilly think some are valid anyway. I'm mostly trying to play devil's advocate from this different perspective. Try to look at the perspective on a whole rather than the specific facts used to 'argue' it.
Another interesting way of looking at things is to think of life as the "bringer of death". When we use energy and change it from state to state, bit by bit, parts of it fall to entropy. Just by exisiting, we are moving the universe towards a uniform state of energy. Think of how much energy we utilize- if humans didn't exist, the overal entropy of Earth would be much less. You could say, that because we bring about the most entropy (order), that we are perhaps the most ordered. Or maybe that's being too arrogant. Perhaps life itself is ordered in the hopes that eventually it will bring the universe to a state of complete entropy and thus complete order?
