The quantum world IS a world of "chaos." It also happens to be the very ground and seat of pure, natural potentiality. Everything that exists has its material foundation in the quantum world. Yet by itself, the quantum world cannot produce "form"; it is pure potentiality, waiting for "instructions," in order to translate its potentiality into actual existent beings in the natural world.

I agree, Sister, an excellent bit of writing.

I would add that even quantum theory depends on quantizing or selecting distinct points to look at...because the whole is not observable, I imagine. And sometimes what's looked at, the very same distinct point, is a particle and others a wave, but to me anyway, this suggests that when looking at chaos that chaos must be pinned down, even if just a point, so humans can look at it and comment on it!

And if a human can pin down a distinct point, then what can a God do? He can pin down ALL distinct points, so that in the realm of the Creator, there is NO chaos. "And the earth was without form and void..."

And it might well mean that the chaos we perceive isn't really chaos at all. It certainly isn't to God, but maybe it isn't to us, and we just don't know it yet.

For Ms Moore, this would mean that her perceived chaos wouldn't be so, if she placed her faith in the God who over-rules all our perceived chaoses.

Indeed, dear brother in Christ, man cannot make such an observation - only God can!

And the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows that we are even limited in measuring certain pairs of physical properties of a single particle simultaneously, e.g. position and momentum. Stochastic methods must be used in quantum mechanics.
