It is not. Change and entropy is. And what is more change than death and dissolution of your physical body?
Life is anti-entropic, and acts in the opposite direction than the universe itself. But eventually entropy has to win, for it is the universal law.
Entropy decreases in lifeforms and increases in the universe. The former process helps to accelerate the universal rise of entropy, so is entirely consistent with the universe.
In the end, according to our current understanding, yes, entropy rises until it consumes all energy, and no more life is possible, but that is many trillions of years in the future, and until that time, the nature of the universe is to create ever more sophisticated life.
What you ascribe to universe, I ascribe to nature, as seen on Earth and, as far as we know, nowhere else in the universe.
The universe doesn't evolve. The universe doesn't create sophisticated life. It just is, and changes, and moves toward entropy. Nature is just a very small and very young system within that, by pure chance or other unknown factors, has managed to move a little upstream.
There is good indication that evolution began long before the Earth, and the classical life on it, emerged:
