No, because "random" is a misleading representation of what actually happens. Every development in the history of the universe happened within the context of the universe itself, both in what it is, and its history. A system like photosynthesis didn't just develop randomly, it developed at least partially in reaction to the world around it; it was allowed to develop and propagate because if conferred an advantage because it was an energy efficient way to gain sustenance, for example. In a world where photosynthesis would be harmful to the organisms that possessed it, we would have gotten a very different set up, because dead organisms do not allow their traits to develop. In a world without a sun, we would never have gotten it at all, most likely.
These things are not random. They are unguided, but they happen within a set of parameters, which makes all the difference. Every system is scaffolded by the other systems around it and every small change that happened previously within the system. It's like rolling dice: the outcome is unguided and perhaps unpredictable, but it isn't truly random because there are constraints on the results. You'll never get a number seven on your standard six sided dice, obviously, but that's what you'd expect within a random system, rather than a system that contains a number of unguided elements.
