Yes. It's called "implicate order", and there are many other examples, in societies, ecologies, and individual living organisms. You might also checkm out d'Arcy Thompson's classic On Growth and Form.

Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker also discusses this problem. Once you understand how random mutation interacts with non-random selection, most of the puzzle goes away.
