Order arises spontaneously in this universe, (see Chaos Theory),
Evolution is a fact. Natural selection is a fact. It's not "chance" on that level.
Random mutation IS by chance.
It's complicated. See this, and if it doesn't explain it, I might be able to assist.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
