Order From Chaos
Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023 (message contributor)
The late Harvard mathematician and philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead, maintained that the whole scientific enterprise of the western world rested upon the belief that at the bottom of things science would find order rather than chaos. Where animists were afraid to probe a world enchanted with demons and spirits, western scientists dissected, investigated, explored and probed into the depths of the atom believing order and organization would be found rather than disorder and disarray. "What was at the bottom of this conviction?" asked Whitehead. It was the theological concept of the Logos, the Word or Reason or Mind of God, which held everything together. Why do things cohere and hold together? It is because the Mind or Logos, or the Spirit of God, holds them together. [Maurice A. Fetty, The Divine Advocacy] Paul put it more simply: “[Jesus Christ] is before all things, and in him all things hold together. “[Col 1:17 ]
