Can a random system produce an ordered system?
Folks in the Naturalism camp argue that the existing state of nature arose from first cause by a series of random events. Somewhere in this process, we achieved a system that appears to be non-random. For example, many folks believe that natural selection is NOT random.
If this is the case, has anyone ever shown that a truly random system (e.g., the primordium) can generate a subsequent system (e.g., the existing natural selection system) that is organized? In this case not only is the resultant system organized, but it looks as if it tends toward increasing organization.
If our existing enviroment is truly organized (as it appears to be) then either:
1) It was initially random, and transitioned to a organized state at some point in the past
2) It was never random in the first place
Has anyone ever demonstrated (in any field) that a highly organized system (that actually tends toward increasing organization) can be generated from random presursors?

Few problems are so complex that they cannot be substantially clarified by one more cup of coffee  (or a nice cabernet if it is after 5:00)
