From God's perspective . . .

"chaos"

is just a different sort of order.

And, I don't think you can assert that so comprehensively and broadly--that God doesn't deal in chaos--from Scripture.

God has often used even chaos for His purposes--as He uses even satan for His purposes.

I Corinthians 14:33

"God is not the author of confusion..."

Strong's concordance:

confusion.

Greek. akatastasia.
Instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion

The earth was in disorder, confusion, chaos when the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.

God is the author of peace and order as the rest of the verse states. Satan creates chaos, not God.

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD That created the heavens; God Himself That formed the earth and made it; HE hath established it, He created it not "IN VAIN", He formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD" and there is none else.

Interesting that planted deep in Isaiah "IN VAIN" same as used in Genesis 1:2 we are told that God did not create the earth as a waste land.

Also in Genesis 1:2 this word "WAS" is not correct should be "BECAME".
