Here is a simple analogy of entropy.
You drop an uncooked egg and it shatters.
Entropy is not about organization of "stuff"; it's about organization of energy. The entropy of a shattered egg is not necessarily more than the entropy of an intact egg. If you put an egg on a cold surface and its heat dissipates to the surface, that is entropy. It doesn't even matter if the egg is shattered or whole.
The amount of information doesn't necessarily change either when the "stuff" is rearranged.

Human interventions do seem to effect entropy because volitional actions and intelligent perception allow us to create improbable states of order.
But life is not an improbable state of order.
