Chaos? or a greater magnitude of Order to an order of magnitude Greater?

// July 28th, 2009 // My Thoughts

is chaos just a greater magnitude of order?

Don’t expect this to make sense.. but if it does then maybe you are as weird and eccentric as I am!

There are several theories or laws that we use to describe our observations of the physical world… one of these is the theory of entropy, in summary the theory of entropy states that all systems tend to decay into disarray.  A second theory Chaos theory explores this process of decay and disarray and together these theories form a very convincing case that eventually everything will unravel and the universe will fall apart.  I was happy agreeing with these ideas since they seemed to explain many things that I have witnessed and read about as a physics buff.  Today though… as I was driving home from work… I was just thinking… nothing really and suddenly out of nowhere came this thought.. “the things you see as chaotic seem that way because of  your perspective… Chaos is simply Order at a greater magnitude than you can perceive.”   Well I pretty much spent the rest of the evening thinking about what this means.  here are a few thinking points

  • The wisdom of man is foolishness to God
  • the spinning top that slowly succumbs to gravity, and friction is joining and fully contributing to a bigger, spinning top… Earth!
  • The silly things that I stress out about are actually things that are working together to reveal Gods Plans for my life!
  • a marble rolling toward an ant will seem like a catastrophe to him… to you it is hardly worth noticing. Ironically the path of the marble has everything to do with a system of rules such as inertia, gravity, friction, energy and more; a system that universally governs almost every event on the face of the earth at once. From the micro to the macro the same laws are obeyed. Catastrophe is only relevant to an observer within the realm of their observation.

Anyways!  so that’s what I thought about tonight.   any comments?

    Amazing! Simply amazing! I must be as weird and eccentric as you are, because that made total sense to me! Praise God that His foolishness is greater than the wisdom of man.

    Jason…good blog. I completely agree with you and it is a topic that can fry our brains to think about. But I do believe that chaos is not in God's vocabulary. He has never seen a situation He can not handle. A matter of fact I wonder if He has ever seen a situation He did not create at some point in time. To God the world is as it should be. Maybe not as He would like it…yet! But it is as it should be in the process of redeeming all things back to Him, it's Creator. I see the world and I see chaos a lot of the time and it is only when I can sit back and look at things through the eyes of Christ, that I begin to see a world ready to be loved and in exact order that God created it and is restoring it. Good thoughts bro…keep writing!
