everything is randomly bashing things together; every human is randomly bashing things together. we are similar, but have billions and billions of tiny differences that make up the specific things about us.
everything has selection pressures too: just like life forms exist and thrive in different environments, dust behaves differently at different temperatures and gravities.
life as an event, and specific things that happen thereafter are no less “random” than specific chunks of rock/dust in specific configurations

This sliver of dusty ice may have formed in a one-in-a-million random chance, but there's no process that selects for this.
