So I was thinkin ...

It’s logical to conclude that the question of whether or not some form of god exists in our universe is binary. Yes or no. Either a god exists and created the cosmos and everything in it, or there was no guidance involved in the creation of it or the maintaining of it. The idea of no god can be summed up into one word.

Chaos.

Here’s what Wikipedia said about chaos:

Chaos derives from the Greek Χάος and typically refers to unpredictability. In the metaphysical sense, it is the opposite of law and order: unrestrictive, both creative and destructive.

The opposite of law and order. Meaning there was no particular plan or directive that got the universe to where it is now. If that’s truly the case, then how could we exist in a universe with so many laws? Gravity, acceleration, velocity, there are so many universal constants in physics and chemistry that exist supposedly because of chaos.
I dunno. It just doesn’t add up to me. I keep reading that all scientists are atheists, but for some reason the more I learn about science the more the universe seems like some sort of hierarchy to me; like someones in control.

I mean, doesn’t that make sense?
