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"

Where did the singularity come from? If there was a singularity to explode, then there had to be something going on before the event. Maybe M theory will explain it someday.

So if I remember my foreign civics class. Under common law the butterfly would be liable in France but not England?

It's not widely known but this axiom is the foundation of modern science. / How so?

I think I was being sarcastic. The Big Bang, evolution, earth science all seems like complete BS to me. It's as if it were all based upon this butterfly effect.

(FTR I have science degrees myself, and do not pretend to know how any of the stuff we observe came to be. It's just obvious to me what isn't true. I'm a when contradictions exist, examine your premises kind of guy.)
