If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision...etc
Amazing how much misunderstanding can be prevalent in one passage isn't it? First off the solar system was "formed" through the interaction of forces prevalent in matter as well as the other phenomena listed here. Accidental in this passage implies without rules and as a quick study of probability theory shows there actually are rules to randomness and not the directionless misunderstanding of laws that C.S. Lewis could have cared less to have rectified since it would conflict with his desire for the world to be otherwise.
C.S Lewis was no scientist.

And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of
