Many scientists have come to understand that the design and complexity of the universe could not have arisen by pure chance. Some scientists now propose that matter has some self-organizing property (as yet undiscovered), which leads to the generation of complex systems without any external aid. Some say that organized structures can develop in the extremes of chaotic systems.

Closely related to the above are ideas that the universe or the earth itself is some sort of living "being", although not a sentient, self-aware personality. Something like "the force" of the Star Wars movies. The "god" that some evolutionary scientists talk about is this type of god, not the personal living God of the Bible.

The search for any sign of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe continues, funded by your tax dollars. The Bible doesn't seem to explicitly exclude God from having also created life elsewhere, but it does imply that man is special to God, and humans on other planets would raise theological questions such as did Jesus die for their sins too?

The idea that earth life was seeded by extra-terrestrials is known as "panspermia", which really only removes the problem of origins out one level, as we can ask "who created the visitors?".
