There Is No Chaos With God

    

         Chaos Theory revolves around the observation that even the smallest of changes at the beginning of an experiment can produce wildly different outcomes....at least as I understand it. Many people often wonder how their lives would have turned out if they had made one decision differently earlier in life. For instance, what if they had chosen to to attend Penn State instead of Pitt? What if they had taken this job instead of that job? Maybe I had these thoughts earlier in life but no more. In the prior thoughts one would have to believe in chance. In the latter, one would believe in a Creator who determines every event, large and small, in history. The former seems to be the more fair of the two. The latter seems to be robotic. But this assumes that we know all of the variables in....life. In other words. This assumes that we know God's mind.....and thus His mind would be fairly simple where after a certain amount of observation, it can be neatly systematized, characterized and set aside as no longer needful to be studied.
          Ultimately the only thing identifiable in this equation is the human mind...not God's mind. This describes America today. God, if there is a god, and we believe that there very well might not be one, has no greater intellect than we do. We are at least on equal terms. Back to Chaos Theory.... God has the answers to it and to quantum physics because he created them. And so He would also have designed a Unified Field Theory that many are in search of. We in America, many years ago, scientists included, made one seemingly insignificant change in our paradigm of life, We eliminated God as a superior being. God, seems to have permitted that "smallest of changes" in our estimation, to radically change the outcomes, at least as far as our models would have predicted. We are in....chaos....and have no answers, and the answers we believe we have come up with turn out to be just more variables to add to the chaos. We are at the mercy of the bouncing ball on the stone covered street. God knows the outcome. We in America will not like it but it will serve His purposes. The discerning Christian on the other hand is not following the ball for he...she...knows that it will rest in the exact spot that it was designed to before the first atom existed and before the first molecule was formed.
