I believe the universe is sort of like a painting. Depending on how you are looking at it, it can be chaotic or orderly. Example take a picture. Stick your eye as close to it as possible, from this point it looks like a hodgepodge of different shaded colors, chaotic. Under a microscope, we see threads or pixels, definate color patterns (order). Under say an electron microscope we see a myriad of cells, atoms, various molecular entities, but nothing we can make out or say has any sort of routine (chaotic) Now stand a normal length away. We see a picture of whatever the creator meant when they made it, as far as we know at least (order). Now stand across a busy street from your picture, we know there is a picture, what it looks like or what is on it is hard to say. What colors used or what shape it is, can be questionable.(chaotic)

That's how I believe the universe to be, a paradox of order and chaos, depending on what level of understanding your looking at.
