The universe is not an organism in any accepted sense. It doesn't acquire energy from its environment, use that to reduce local entropy, and expel waste products. It is energy, it is expanding, and its entropy is reducing exactly in accord with thermodynamics. If the universe is an organism, then so is my cup of tea!
