Saying that something operates by rules which can be understood, ie Newtons Laws, does not equate to 'order'.

The Universe is an extremely disordered, random, and dangerous place.

Implying that things move in stately orbits in a calm, orderly fashion isn't accurate. There's more crap whizzing randomly around the Solar System than anyone could shake a stick at.

Stars explode, solar systems and even galaxies collide and are torn apart, planetary debris is being shot around the galaxy like so many pinballs, and even the 'empty' space between galaxies isn't 'empty'.

It's full of chunks of stuff shooting through space being pulled to and fro by the gravity of whatever objects they pass.

It's literally impossible to find any 'order' in it. People have been trying to do that since the time of Copernicus. All have failed.

Order is in the mind, that is, subjective, that is, in the imagination.
