Human bodies weren't made by chance. They grew from one celled 'acorns' over billions of years.

Where did the 'acorn' cell(s) come from? Can non-living matter spontaneously become living, given enough time? (I'm not trying to be argumentative--I really don't know. Has it been done in a lab?) Or do you subscribe to the Martian-spawn theory? :) Are there any living organisms around that do not have a 'parent' of some sort... maybe they spontaneously generate their own life from water and the right amount of gases...?

Abiogenesis and evolution are two different areas of exploration. There are a number of theories on how life may have occurred. But evolutionary theory does not require a concise theory of abiogenesis, it is self-contained.
