If the Universe sparked into existence by chance, then how is it so complex, yet so connected at the same time?

@Sharon The laws of physics are our understanding of the universe as it is. A different universe would have different laws of physics or, put another way, different laws of physics would indicate a different universe.
No need to postulate a magical creator that you can't explain the origin of without ignoring the reason you postulated it.

@calicuz That sounds very much like the Big Bang hypothesis. An eternal singularity expanded to create Spacetime. As time only came into existence at that point, there was no "before" the Big Bang. What can you offer to refute that hypothesis? It only differs from yours in that it doesn't assign intelligence to the singularity but your "god" didn't require an intelligent being to create it either.

@calicuz
but evolution allows for there to be change for no reason,
Evolution is just a change in the freqeuncy of alleles. Natural selection then filters out the non-viable specimens. It's irrelevant to to origin of the universe. We know about random fluctuations, so the universe is constructed that way. In fact we even make use of randomness.which is why it will be traced back to the beginning.
What's your point? We can trace back to the Planck Era - 10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang. We need to find a way of unifying gavity, relativity and quantum mechanics before we can start to understand what hapened in that period.
