Yes, it does. I think most people consider the world to be pretty chaotic (often unexplainable, unexpected) and that whatever systems, institutions, or laws that we come up with are simply trying to put some order in the chaos. This outlook seems to apply to physics' studies, as well. As they form theories about chaos (how the world works, ie. what creates life) they use mathematics to try and get closer to an answer that still eludes scientists: why do random, unexpected events occur? what is the pattern that we are not seeing? for many people's sanity, it seems, we must at least attempt to make some order out of chaos-- because chaos is unquestionable. Also, the "chaos" in the universe seems to be the Way homeostasis is kept, so what seems random is actually a natural movement towards balance.
