I really should stop drinking so much. The previous post didn't make a whole lot of sense.
However, I have read some pretty interesting stuff lately on chaos and complexity theory that seems to hint at the idea that there really isn't such a thing as "pure chance" when dealing with systems that are so intertwined and involved.
One the main Intelligent Design ideas is that DNA must have existed prior to the first protein strand and the probabilities of a random cell binding is so astromical that it's highly unlikely.
Where chaos theory kicks in though is through the use of "attractors". These are forms (sort of like graphs) that detail areas that certain elements within a system are bound too. These boundaries are based on thousands, or even millions, of calculations with each result graphed. Slight abberations in stimuli (even to the most minute decimal value) can widely alter the results but when averaged out a certain pattern emerges.
Within this pattern is tightly packed areas that the particular element in question is most likely to remain unless acted on by another force. Assuming this other force is acting within it's own boundaries, the level of pure chance drops drastically since both elements are doing what comes naturally.
This post is still hoo-hah. But I'm still researching. I promise this will be the last of these though.
