Take the surface of the sun, or that of Jupiter, there's lots of chaos there. A lot of the matter in the galaxy is just nebula. Boil water, and see how frenetic the vapor escapes. Right now, our theory says that the universe is accelerating, for how long, we can't say. Plus, QM says empty space is full of quantum fluctuations. None of that tells me that the universe is ordered. Maybe parts of it, but all of it? I don't think so.
Chaos as in action yes but not entirely? gravity? the fact that the elements make up everything the universe needs?
Life needs a number of elements to even exist we happen to have them in abundance, minus a few elements everything that exists could just be rock.
This is like winning the lottery. Millions buy tickets but only one wins. Now he might think that this was his fate, that his winning happened by design. Not so with the millions who didn't win.
The earth has all the ingredients to have life. But in the cosmos, there are gazillions of solar systems. That some might have an inhabitable planet to life, like earth, is just the luck of the draw. It has nothing to do with your claim that the universe is ordered.
As to gravity , it comprises 30% of the universe, and ordinary matter, a measly 3%.
