Hey Susan,
The article below gives an example of simple things becoming more complex or organized over time over time. There are many examples of computer programs that do this. Given a series of functioning computers and enough electricity, this type of "automatic complexification" could continue ad infinitum. This of course goes against your idea of how entropy works. The "outside force" that allows entropy to be outdone in this case would be electricity and replacement computers. The "outside force" propelling complexity on the earth in spite of entropy is the energy from the sun.
