If there is a God its Chaos?

What is chaos? Disorder, confusion, unpredictability, complex systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions leading to seemingly random and unpredictable behavior.
In other words chaos is all which lies beyond our comprehension. It's something beyond us that we can't quite grasp.
What if I told you that everything in existence is birthed from chaos? Every formation, every idea, every creation of our own, life at its very core is chaotic. We are but the processors finding the order . Without chaos life would cease to exist, it would be nothing but lines, graphs and charts.
Chaos is what comes before any creation.
Chaos and creativity go hand in hand down to the psychology:
All new knowledge is found in the intuitive fog that lies between chaos and what we already know.
Ancient Chinese recognized that chaos and order are related. In Chinese myth, the dragon represents the principle of order, yang, which emerges from chaos. In some Chinese creation stories, a ray of pure light, yin, emerges from chaos and builds the sky. Yin and yang, the female and male principles act to create the universe but even after they have emerged from chaos yin and yang still retain the qualities of chaos. Too much of either brings chaos.
Hesiod, a Greek of the 8th century B.C, wrote the Theogony, a cosmological poem which states that “first of all Chaos came to be”. The ancient Greeks seem to have accepted that chaos precedes order, in other words, that order comes from disorder. Nothing was made of this “mythical idea” until in the 20th century when chaos theory arrived.
Rupert Sheldrake has a book called “morphic resonance” in which he discusses the concept where all living things are birthed into the world with the aid of “quantum fields” which have the necessary information for life to grow. Quantum particles are the most chaotic particles in the universe to our comprehension. So much so that they have remained an enigma.
He proposes that there is not enough information in a walnut for it to grow into a tree and so the information comes externally from an invisible quantum field of information. This would mean that all life manifests from the quantum field aka chaos.
Fractals lie on the edge of chaos.
Fractals are complex geometric shapes that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-scale copy of the whole. They exhibit self similarity meaning that they appear simple at any level of magnification. In the video linked Below Terrence Mckenna speaks on fractals and the possibility that our planet could be one which is also a shared belief with Benoit Mandelbrot (the one who discovered the Mandelbrot fractal).
He provides an Experiment Example in which he walks along a coastline and finds a black pebble. he kept walking and he found the exact same pebble. He then decided to trace and counted his steps between the two and found that it sat at 725 steps. He took another 725 steps and found a 3rd pebble just like the other two.
“What is implied if we say that there is a fractal description of rain-forests, there's a fractal description of river systems, there is a fractal description of the coastlines of the continents? What that implies is that there must be a fractal in which those fractals are somehow subsets and that the planet itself is some kind of fractal object”

If this were true It would make life a pattern in time set in motion by chaos.
Read next suggestion: psychic phenomena in terms of pattern recognition
Does this explain the doppelganger? Can this explain the repeating patterns in religion, history, mentality of humanity?.
Whats the smallest or first step we understand this and can we take action to manipulate it?
Once, during a mushroom session, I wrote in my notebook:
"life is psychedelic chaos dressed up so that it can be digested by the mind"
Thanks for developing my notation :)
