Whatever force is responsible for our existence is clearly not perfect -- just look around you. Perhaps the existence in a segment of the human population, of a gene which enhances the ability to perceive this force, is the beginnings of said force's attempts to help us lowly critters perceive more of the bigger things in the universe.

The explanation for the seeming chaos and lack of perfection, from the Judeo-Christian standpoint, is that it was introduced by man - not God. Genesis tells us that things were perfect until the man and woman exercised the free will God gave them to disobey Him, thereby introducing sin into the world. The blame for evil lies with humanity, not God.
God knew this would happen from the beginning; the ability to choose to sin is the cost of freedom. It is for this reason He has a plan of redemption through the sacrificial blood of Jesus. There is more than a 'force' to know - there is a person.
"Whoever comes to me I will in no wise cast out." - Jesus
