The chaos theory is now being called as "the third scientific revolution" because of its strong impact on the scientific society. One of the important characteristics of chaotic system is "unpredictability", even though the system is described by deterministic equations. Modern science has been thought to be powerful in understanding the nature, but in fact, it has been a knowledge system of "machine" built by some natural laws, rather than of the nature itself. Because most scientists have very narrow and deep knowledge in the special field of study, usually they do not know nature itself. Therefore, we can say a paradox such that the scientists do not know the nature. The nature can be characterized by its "order" and "diversity". Modern science has been studying only the aspect of the order and neglected the diversity. The chaos theory is a knowledge system of the diversity of the nature. Apparently, there seem to be no rules governing the diversity, but the chaos scientists found that a few simple rules can describe the diversity. So, the chaos does not mean disorder. It is a branch of science studying the hidden rules of the diversity of nature. From the viewpoint of Christian worldview, the chaos theory is thought to have found the important aspect of the nature which was created by God. The Bible says that "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord." It seems that God created the nature in the way of which the chaotic processes play important roles. So, human is not allowed to predict the future. Because the nature`s behavior is chaotic and unpredictable when perturbed by any external causes such as human`s activities to try to change the nature, we should be very careful and humble when we are going to control the nature. |
