I mean to say that we think that order is the general rule in the universe because we live in a part of universe which is harmonious, but can it not be an exception? What about the outer reaches of the universe? Does stars, planets and life are a result of a random happening (which sometimes result in a design) or not?

In the long run, its already a certainty we are going from order to disorder....as mandated by the all pervasive 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. The order we bring into our lives is only temporary. It's an astronomical certainty that our 'harmonious' earth will eventually be turned into a burnt crisp with the supernova of our sun. Of course we won't be around to worry about that event....our little bit of harmony will last till we die.

It is human intelligence that sees order and defines it. A physical world exists outside human intelligence. Humans adapt to the order or disorder they perceive. Because the outer reaches of the universe are beyond human intelligence (since we have no information or data about it), there is neither order or disorder. Once the human element has intelligence of the outer reaches then we can separate order from disorder.

Order is a feature of nature in some circumstances - what are called self-organizing systems.
You might be interested in "Order out of Chaos" by Ilya Prigogine, if you want to delve into a hard core science answer to your question (Ilya Prigogine won the 1977 Nobel prize in chemistry). Or for a quick read, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organization

It seems that both are the rule. Both chaos and order are needed for growth, as chaos by itself is little more than random waves of energy, while order by itself is merely a stagnant framework. As humans, we are assemblers that negotiate the reality formed between the two, making us part of the eternal symbiotic relationship between order and chaos.

There is no general rule in the universe. Rules are prepared by us. We all are different, living in different communities, states, therefore we prepare rules according to our whims and fancies. So there cannot be a GENERAL RULE ever.

how is this part of the universe harmonious? every other day, i hear on the news about how we're going to die from an asteroid impact. and, when they're not talking about that, we're going to die from a super volcano...or maybe storms and hurricanes are going to just keep getting worse, maybe we'll be buried by a giant tsunami, how about we just blow ourselves up with our nukes? either way, it seems we're all gonna die. harmonious?

I tend to think, what we perceive as random, may be not random because of our lack of understanding. And if there is a chaos, it must be a temporary or controled one . But who knows ?!
