It's not chance but natural selection that explains the creation, adaptation and complexity of species.

Quotes
« No, it probably wasn't designed by chance. That's the one point on which we can all agree. The statistical improbability of phenomena like the euplectelle skeleton is the fundamental problem that any theory of life must solve. The greater the statistical improbability, the less plausible the solution of chance. That's what improbable means. But contrary to what this seems to imply, the solution to the improbability conundrum is not a choice between design and chance. It's between design and natural selection. Chance is not a solution, given the very high improbability of living organisms, and no sane biologist has ever even raised the idea. Nor is design a real solution, as we'll see later; but, for now, I want to continue with the problem that every theory of life must solve: how to escape chance. »
