I read your posting to the ASA and urge you to stick to your guns. The word
you need to study more about is Complexity, which is a more accurate
expression than Chaos. I've spent a lot of time following this idea, and
the more I pursue it, the more magnificent creation gets. It would take a
long time to try to explain it here. I suggest that you first pick up a
copy of a book by James Gleick called _Chaos_. It is still one of the best
introductions to the topic

Many things once thought to be chaotic are displaying order at deeper levels
than we thought, because we are now getting more refined tools to explore with.
Check out our web site, and if you're interested in further discussion, I'd
be happy to chat with you further. My whole understanding of creation has
been changed for the better by this awareness. Fascinating stuff, but so is
the Creator who made it.
