We live our lives in patterns, we find patterns everywhere in nature. so how does chaos theory fit in?

Is there a universal pattern to be found? or is it just a human truth, our minds built to see and form patterns?We live our lives in patterns, we find patterns everywhere in nature. so how does chaos theory fit in?
no chaos, it's just that the pattern is too large for us poor humans to either see it or recognize it or understand the pattern. Does make life interesting tho'.We live our lives in patterns, we find patterns everywhere in nature. so how does chaos theory fit in?
It is called Apophenia.
Great question. The patterns we see are all part of the big game of life. There is much to learn in studying the patterns, and one should never count them out. Perhaps, rather than our minds being built to see and form the patterns, maybe, instead, we just do see them and form them. However, success and happiness depend in every way on measures of conformity. This does not mean that individuality must be sacrificed, instead, that the patterns must be allowed for. There are violent response to violations of the pattens which you describe. Interesting stuff. Very deep and a subject which could occupy a person forever, honestly.





As for chaos, chaos is a nondescriptive term which refers to the presence, really, of evil or callous conconformity.





Here is a theory as relates to universal patterns. Very deep, so please inhale.





Lucifer and 1/3 of the andels fell away from God plotting to overthrow Him. The remaining angels subdue them and the old heaven expodes in a violent rage of God. Simultaneously, God enivisions the world and creatures to replace the fallen angels (including Lucifer). In His mind would have been the committment to those angels who had not tried to destroy Him and the unconquerable committment to the new creation-a new order in which injustice would never happen again. Many supernatural forces at work would have caused the presence even of evil people and of people with out a point or purpose. The union of the fallen angels and the evil people would have been those destined for hell as in the Bible. As for the rest, the struggle of their life would be their test for eternity, which is, really, the struggle for good ideas.





The exposion of the old heaven would correspond directly with the Big Bang of the Big Bang theory of evolution. Only the one force would have been applied to creation by God, the initial destruction of the old order or the old heaven. After this destruction, God's work would have been in restoring order fully, but in a new order.





As for the questions of timing as in the seven day theory of the Bible. Science and research verify that the universe is 4.5 billion years old or so, so the Bible cannot be trusted to be taken literally on this issue, unless one considers that the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ as a supernatural occurance of the Big Bang. Before God was the Lord in two parts, body and spirit. Now the Lord is the Lord in three parts, God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. [Here goes some deep science] But perhaps the references of the old testament to creation as a seven day event are not crazy in light of Einstein's theory of reletivity. If God the Father remained at the center of the Big Bang (or moved relatively slowly in comparison to it), or the center of the expanding universe, the Lord Jesus Christ would have been on earth awaiting birth and order from God the Father. Far from the hurdling earth, by the theory of reletivity, God the Father would have seen the event as a seven day event. However, the Lord Jesus Christ would have understood the human or earthly viewpoint that the the earth (and the universe) are 4.5 billion years old. Man, receiving messages from God the Father through the angels, who answer to God the Father, would have had only the explaination of God the Father of creation.





Very interesting that, of the Trinity of the Bible, God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ each might exist and have a unique viewpoint.





So, maybe both the theory of creation and of evolution are correct!





Living things do live in patterns, even birds and trees and so forth, so never lose faith in your thoughts. Your thoughts are the formations of success for you. You might think of yourself as building a foundation for success with your thoughts and actions. However, making certain to correctly divide between your thoughts and any meaningless or pointless thoughts which may arise in your day to day endeavors, will determine if you are able to reach or sustain success or how quickly you are able to reach success. Success is a lofty perch which can only be earned through application or hard work, but, if focus wains, failure will follow. Failure is never inevitable, and it is always a growing experience. The only true defeat is in quitting! Just never quit would be the attitude to keep.





As always, the most important thing is to try to find a way to stay focused on success. Success is happiness!





As for the Bible, maybe you could try a reading in Romans. There are many discussions of order in that particular book. Really good stuff.





Thanks for the question and good luck...
that guy with Apophenia....he just blew my mind
