is chaos defined no longer chaotic? it seems to me that we wouldnt be able to comprehend chaos - it wouldnt have a form or order for us to digest and dumb down into our human logic pallate. I think if chaos exists, it could only exist outside of this realm of order... because if it was held inside of this realm, its parent would be order and therefore chaos would stem from order - which is paradoxical in the bad way. so , if chaos exists, it would have to exist somewhere else. But i think if it 'exists' at all in the first place, it's succumbing to an orderly event that can be defined and pintpointed and spoken about and understood (existence).... so my bet is that chaos doesn't exist. a chaos defined has become orderly through the logical process of definition.
to see chaos is to understand that it is chaos.... but how could we understand something that wont prostrate itself before a definition and, therefore, be understood?
one cant understand what evades understanding itself, what is dwelling in the deepest shadows where there is no light to illuminate it.......inside a perfect darkness. a wall we cannot breach, a perfect dark is something we will not see and cannot comprehend... which might as well be 'nothing.' but does nothing defined (ie "nothingness") become a something? I dont know. Trying to wrap my mind around something that cannot be enveloped. it is too much for me.
All i know is that what is orderly (science/creation/whatever) seems to not be able to give birth to chaos. I doubt anyone can NAME or DESCRIBE an instance of true chaos. We say things like "the chaos that ensued the hurricane" but we really mean that wind is logical, it was logical for the houses to get knocked down, logical for there to be extensive damage in the aftermath. We say "the chaos of the bomb explosion" but a bomb is logical, and the crater of the bomb is orderly and the blast is orderly and the carnage makes sense.
So if chaos is a synonym for lack of reason, lack of understanding, lack of the orderly, lack of the logical - the mere fact that these faculties exist (reasoning, understanding, order, logic) seem like they should point us to the logical conclusion that there is a reason for existence - and therefore, an Intellect behind the intelligence. A Creator behind the creature.
so, one might get pissed at this next bit- thinking i set you up or something. but honestly, i sat here and thought this out for like 45 mins, going back and forth over the logic of what i was writing. and when all was said and done, i read back over what i had written and there seemed to be no better way to sum it up than with a verse that didnt come into my mind until after i read over my entry.
Romans 1:19"..since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made..."
