Chaos or Cosmos?

When you read the title of this blog, you may get the impression that the words are chaotic, meaningless. They cannot be found anywhere in the dictionary. Yet, the surprising thing is that they are completely comprehensible.

The following paragraph explains how this works...

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Amazing isn't it? The reason for this is because the words are not actually chaos, but rather cosmos. A cosmos is orderly, chaos is not. Cosmos requires a designer, chaos does not. R.C. Sproul says in his book 'The Consequences of Ideas' that we need to probe the elements of 'apparent' chaos to discover patterns of order that lurk beneath the surface.

In his famous book 'COSMOS', Carl Sagan affirms that the world is cosmos, not chaos. To say that life happens entirely by chance and the universe, with its intricacy and self-sustaining capability, comes into being solely from the 'Big Bang', would be almost impossible. The probability of such an event occuring would be lower than one striking a jackpot 7 times in a row, within a week.

Take a look around and you will see the hand-prints of The Designer all over. Chaos or Cosmos? I choose to believe the latter...
