I'm not at all sure that physical laws promote complexity. Chaos promotes
complexitty & the physical laws promote order.

e.g. a storm system is chaotic but the more chaotic it is, the more ordered
it becomes e.g. a hurricane & a tornado are both more ordered at a
macro scale than a diffuse weather front.

It's the layers of chaos/order/chaos/order from particles simply deciding
to exist to then being trapped in valence belts (all those donut shapes
etc) by electro-atomic forces right up to the sun & planets being round
& travelling in predefined orbits (round the galaxy & round the sun
(in the case of the planets)) etc.

Then the galaxies themselves have ordered shapes even thoough they were
created out of chaos etc.

In terms of religion, were one to be more of a believer in the order vs
chaos religions then they could take some solace from the shape of things.
