Chaos and Order has a far more widely accepted definition. Order can be represented by any sort of system, from religion to government. Chaos is basically anarchy, literally or figuratively.
Joseph Conrad suggests that Chaos is like a black hole, it consumes and consumes and consumes. The only thing that can block the black hole is a belief system (Order). That's why a balance must exist between the two. Without chaos, we wouldn't eat or procreate, but without order, we'd kill without mercy...
I think that may apply here, perhaps.
I'm not looking for a battle, but...:
Religion bringing order to chaos.. or even a government, we're back to morals, good and evil.
Some people think that living in an anarchaic state, where everyone is working for the good of the species, would be the best was. Don't say "that would never work" because that's good and evil again.
No offence, but you are missing the point of your own statement, saying that chaos is like a black hole and that we'd kill without mercy is back to the good and evil thing.
For example, if everyone had to fight for resources because of no government etc then that would be survival of the fittest, a different order. Order and chaos are as debateable as good and evil.
They are, in my opinion slightly different. You are right good and evil don't exist because morals are a human principle, the universe is amoral.
Everything in the universe obeys the laws of physics, whatever they are, and so could be said to be either complete order or complete chaos, again personal opinion.
you can't say that chaos and order are more definable than good and evil just because peoples opinions on them are more similar, majority opinion is rubbish sometimes.
Most importantly though.. good and evil are useful names for things when discussing something so there's no need to make a fuss about it. Everyone has been using those labels so let's just carry on.
