From wikipedia:

Discordianism is a religion based on the worship of Eris (also known as Discordia), the Greco-Roman goddess of strife. It was founded circa 1958–1959 by Gregory Hill, under the pseudonym Malaclypse the Younger, with the publication of its principal text, the Principia Discordia.

Discordianism is a "Ha Ha, Only Serious" 'joke', using humor to subversively spread what its members regard as a valid philosophy. To keep said beliefs from becoming dangerous fanaticism, they rely on self-subverting Dadaist or pseudo-Zen humor, with varying degrees of success. It is regarded as a joke religion, though to what degree is disputed.

Bringing Order out of Chaos would seem to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics -- unless there is an Organizing Principle outside the system. I do not see Discordianism as a serious thing at all. But I see an organized Universe, and I know that God exists. And I see a project called ERIS showing how the Milky Way became organized and I see science showing me that God exists.

Discordianism has nothing to do with this project, if that’s what you’re getting at.

It's just physics. Sheesh. Lighten up. Gravity just works. No deities required. No thermodynamic laws are broken by some matter being drawn toward other matter and going into orbit.
