The universe was in chaos after the Big Bang kick-started the cosmos, a new study suggests.

While one might expect the explosion that began the universe to wreak some havoc, scientists mean something very specific when they refer to chaos. In a chaotic system, small changes can cause large-scale effects. A commonly cited example is the "butterfly effect"

Bingo!!! somewhere in the Bible it says” beware the wisdom of man”. This is an example of Man’s thinking. Just the opposite of truth.

I hope we don’t suffer another purely random big bang tomorrow. I have plans this weekend and this chaos thing sounds like it could put a damper on them.

Science hasn’t the foggiest notion what temporal and spatial continua may have condensated during the inflation period when the universe expanded at faster than the speed of light. We have been so busy defining what the condensate is which we dwell in, that we have ignored the possibilities of other spatio-temporal continua. But the Bible actually gives strong hints of same (see Chptr 5 of Daniel, for instance).

From nothing came everything and it organized itself by accident.....

And yet scientists are 100% dead cert that MAN is causing massive global warming/cooling and we will be dead/flooded/parched withing the past 20, next 5, 10,100, no 20 years if we don't radically change our way of live and distribution of wealth!

I like it! Your gran is brilliant ... the ‘great stir’, yes, that’s the best I’ve readin a long time!

Everythign we observe in life, shows that choas moves towards order.

Tell it to my sock drawer.

"The must've been some order existing already for those particles and forces to have existed in the first place."

And that order is normally referred to as God.

Or if you're a great scientist (and lousy philosopher) it is referred to as vacuum energy.

Until the RATs get power, that is! Then it moves rapidly back to chaos.

“small changes can cause large-scale effects.”

Yep. The feds employ 2.8 million workers. We changed 1 guy at the WH in 2008 and look at all the chaos that has ensued.

Mathematical “Chaos theory” has already predicted/shown that a “natural order” ensues from chaos. The specific order may differ, depending on the “original” attributes.

[RobinOfKingston]

Order always seems to come out of chaos.

The universe is lumpy. Consider how conservatives coalesce on Free Republic.

We weren’t really meant to know everything,
but we were put in a very good place to discover what can be discovered.

Typhoons are caused by large air pressure differences and temperature variations in the atmosphere which occur over open warm waters, not by butterflies. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

"Everythign we observe in life, shows that choas moves towards order"

ever heard of entropy?

And something mnay forget to notice, this very good ‘place’ is located in a very very favorable period of time for this planet ... and it is not going to be that favorable much longer.
