Many mechanisms can destroy complexity at large scales (quakes, novas, nukes), but only 1, evolution, seems to create arbitrary complexity

Ah, but it's the evolution that ended up in nukes. Towards the minimum energy state all the way.

I didn't say evolution cannot also destroy on a large scale. Just that it seems uniquely capable of creating complexity.
Deliberate design by a non-evolving being (like humans over short-term) seems to top out in complexity at say the space shuttle

A planet or a star is more complex than a cloud of gas. That makes gravity the number two.
