Well, I mean, the example Iggy gave was a snowflake. Those are complex things that form from simple things. We understand how snowflakes form. And no intelligence is involved.
Look at our solar system. You may be tempted to see "design" in it. Jupiter "serves the purpose" of vacuuming up rogue comets and meteors that might otherwise strike the Earth for instance. But there is no proof that Jupiter was put where it is by a designer. Jupiter is there (most likely) because a cloud of hydrogen gas was there. Then gravity. The end result is a conveniently-placed planet.
And to your last point, evolution does not explain the complexity of organisms. Natural selection does.
