    No. Evolution is independent of chaos theory. It is as related to evolutionary theory as counting.

    That elements of evolutionary theory can be described in terms of choas theory is meaningless. My balding pattern can be described in terms of chaos theory. It does not "support" it.

    Wouldn't it be refreshing if those who know nothing of evolution and even less about chaos theory admitted it and simply didn't answer the question -- even though this is a religion forum where ignorance is the rule more than the exception?

    According to the evolution theory anything supports it, even if I invented something today it would support evolution, even if I imagined that something existed that could not possibly exist it still would support evolution..

    basically the evolution theory is set up so that anything you discover or invent it will support the evolution theory..

    The evolution theory is just an invention moonlighting as a discovery..

    Chaos Theory doesn't really have anything to do with evolution.

    Evolution is certainly an *example* of a chaotic system that is unpredictable due to the amount of factors involved, but it wouldn't be accurate to say that Chaos Theory "supports" evolution. If you had to draw a comparison, it would be more apt to say that evolution supports Chaos Theory.

    support...no. Is it consistent with evolution? Of course.

    Evolution is a chaos theory. There is NO order to it whatsoever. Imagine that!

    It really doesn't matter if one believes in evolution or creationism. What is important is that a person lives according to Jesus' message of love. One can do so much better by praying the rosary regularly.
