THE BOUNDARIES OF CHAOS

"There is this interpretation and this religious tradition. You choose and you stake your life on your choices, but there's no evidence your choice is right - except your life." So states Barbara Brown Taylor to her inquisitive theology students when they inquire for the "correct" answer to their faith journey.
The clock in the image relates the preferred description for the Deists of the creation of the universe by God as a master clockmaker who set the natural elements of nature in motion, winding them up and then stepping back like a master technician. A knowledgeable but disinterested technician in human sentiment, hope or desire. Taylor desires a more synthesized view.
Taylor states that recently, cosmology has taught her more than theology, particularly regarding the role of the chaotic in nature and its implications in our daily lives and purpose. For Taylor, while God recognizes us as persons, God is beyond that category, described as a luminous web of being. Interconnecting all. While chaos is just that, chaotic, Taylor believes it has boundaries it cannot trespass. Sounds much like free will.
Is there a corollary between chaos and our human free will? How might that enlighten us regarding our condition in a world of both choice and chance? How does that effect our "interpretation and religious tradition" when dealing with others?
