A lot of us believe that we live in chaos.
I am also the one who thought for most of my life that we live in constant turmoil. I would like to change a little bit this way of thinking in my head. Now, I think something bit different. I believe that we live in ostensible chaos.
I think that we, the humans, never understood and will never understand a lot of eternal, existential, or even cosmic issues. For example, why we appeared on this planet. Or, is there a God somewhere in outer space, he who created this world. Is there a life after death? No one knows. There a lot of approaches to all these questions, but we are not able to answer them. The more theories we create about all these issues, the more we are getting into chaos and the more doubts we have. We try to gain knowledge of our world.
Moreover, we do it practically all the time, since we evolved into humans. We want to organize surrounding us reality, explain unexplained. The problem is that it will never happen.
We are not able to obtain knowledge about God.
What is more, we never understand the whole process, which rules our universe. Science is continually evolving and developing, but it never brings answers to all our questions. The more we find the answers, the more confused we are. Thus, the more complicated is the situation of our civilization. To be more precisely: we have more and more problems.
We are looking for answers in religions, sciences (e.g., mathematics, astronomy), astrology, alchemy, or the Art but it is impossible to find them.
The only thing which we can do is to look for the answers. It is the path we, as humans, should follow. I discovered for myself that the more I am looking for, the more I see that the chaos which surrounds us is ostensible.
Stanislaw Lem wrote that it is not the accident that the collectivity of atoms created living cells. Moreover, it is somewhat impossible that in the next steps, those cells (in the number of trillions) gathered up and formed the human body. I also realized that all the natural laws which exist in our world (e.g., those regarding physics, chemistry, or mathematics) could not arise out of chaos. To me, and to many of the human thoughts and visions presented in broadly understood art and the history, the predictable movements of the stars and planets, the regular conversion of day and night, constant appearance and disappearance of the moon, show that there is incomprehensible order in the universe.
As the author wrote in “The Book of Symbols” (Taschen), one of the Apollo astronauts described his experience regarding infinity. He wrote that: “There is no end,” he expressed his conviction that some creator must have “placed our little world, our Sun, and Moon where they are in the dark void.”
But why it all happened? No one knows, and we will never find out the answers.
