The Butterfly Effect common to chaos theory, is also known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Just a small change in the initial conditions can drastically change the long-term behavior of a system.

Life is chaotic, like a kid's room. It just carries on, there's no "evolution", if anything, it's de-evolution. (Note also, some of us went beyond the 5th grade and actually know where to place apostrophes)

First off, there is no such thing as de-evolution when it comes to biology. Secondly, commas and periods go inside quotation marks.
