The increase in entropy accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, and the asymmetry between future and past.
Evolution is not occurring in an isolated system. It is an open system because it is getting energy from the sun.
Order can arise locally at expense of entropy increasing globally. This is why snowflakes or other crystals form for example.
