It's like a blind man in an old timey cartoon. Comically wandering obliviously through his environment, evading dangers everywhere he goes in close call after close call. By sheer luck he accidentally fumbles about and saves a baby and puts a gang of criminals in jail.
The whole city cheers for him and gives him all kinds of awards and he's just like:
"Eh-excuse me good sir, I am looking for Johnson's pharmacy, on the corner of 9th street and 6th avenue. Could you offer some guidance please?"

If I have learned anything during my CS degree it's that random bullshit can produce desired outcomes, if you are astronomically lucky (see start of life on Earth). However, in some situations making intelligent and careful use of random decisions can help guide our search processes to find solutions to difficult and complex problems in a way that is provably, mathematically efficient.

The probability of life emerging in the universe is quite low, but it's definitely higher than 0.
