Within biological systems, I agree. That is why natural selection is so important to the theory of evolution. Natural selection filters Chance, or rather random mutations. Without natural selection evolution would not occur since good mutations would have an equal chance of being passed on to the next generation as bad mutations would. Chance alone does not explain complex structures, but the filtering effect of natural selection in combination with chance does explain complexity.
However, if you want to give us a modern day observation of an unseen entity creating a new, irreducibly complex system go right ahead.

I say clearly not, becuase I HAVE got evidence of the existance of Chance, although I do NOT have evidence of the existance of god.
