Did the sun rise this morning?

Has planet earth crashed with Mars or Venis?

I put the above 2 questions in here to show you that the answer is very obvious.

I am not sure why you would ask a question like this.

No, it is a pretty chaotic place. There is no mathematical reason to the placement of the stars. No pattern in their arrangement at all.

One person said that she sets her clock to the stars. Ummm, well, the way we measure time is based on the earth's orbit around the sun and the rotation of the earth combined with the orbit the moon makes around the earth. So, saying that our clocks match that is evidence of an organized universe is quite silly. If it were truly organized, then all planets would have the same length of day and year, however, they do not. Another thing to realize is that our clocks do not match these celestial events exactly. We need occasional adjust our clocks (or calendars) to keep our time measurement in sync with the movement around the sun. Ever hear of a leap year?

Another person says that since the sun came up this morning and that the earth has not crashed into venus, then we have an ordered universe. Umm, no, those are not proofs of an ordered universe. They might be proofs of an ordered solar system. However, the earth does get randomly hit by objects all the time. So do the other planets. Just because a single object in the system has a non-random element to it, it does not mean that the entire system is non-random. The moon is slowly moving away from the earth. Not exactly an ordered event, is it. One day, the sun will swallow the earth in supernova. Then there will be no more sunrises on earth. So much for that organized proof. Also, the orbit of Neptune cross the path of Pluto. Given enough time, there will be a collision. It might take trillions of years but there would be a collision between the two one day if they still exist at that time.

I must point something else out. Your question, as stated does not belong in the Religion & Spirituality section. This is a science question.

Only where living things have been.

I believe the rules of this universe game are set and very complex. Those playing the game are not allowed to change those rules though they are allowed to study the universe and learn the more complex rules and benefit from that knowledge.
I am not sure, but the game may actually be "find out all the rules".

YES..., and any honest scientist knows it and is amazed!
It is, however, fallen and deteriorating because of the 'god of this world system'. That is the reason when sin becomes exceeding sinful and in the end of the 6,000th year lease of the earth given to Adam is ended, those people who have asked Jesus to be their Lord and King, and who have already begun to live in God's kingdom here on earth will be transported to heaven while depraved and wicked men destroy themselves and "the elements will melt with fervent heat and the heavens will be on fire and be dissolved" 2 Peter 3rd chapter.
Then will be the New Heavens and New Earth wherein dwells righteousness. It is literal and it is SOON. Then us "religious fanatics" won't look so crazy! What you got to lose except your sin and your soul over to God who KNOWS what is best and what will make you happy!?

According to the big bang theory, it's as organized as an ever expanding explosion... This leads me to wonder what could be the source, or center of this "bang"....

Probably at least as much so as my closet. Maybe even more.

But there is a lot of complexity. Chaos may be only what we do not yet understand, but I wouldn't place any large bets on it. (Actually, I wouldn't place any large bets on anything. The odds get exponentially worse, the more money you stand to loose.)

No. It is ordered, though entropy increases universally. There's a significant difference when it comes to complexity theory between order and organized.

Hmm, depends on what you mean by "organized"...
Is there order? Yes.
Are there catastrophically chaotic events? Yes.
Are there physical laws? Yes.
Is each planet and star arranged by size? No.

It dosen't really matter what you believe in, its undeniable the universe is increadibly organized

Yes, in some ways such as time. But, god created the world based on our actions. So some ways aren't
