More wisdom from Fr. John Flader

If the universe were a product of chance, we would not expect to find such order and intelligibility and laws. We would find chaos. Anyone who has studied the second law of thermodynamics knows that any system, like the molecules of air and gases in this room, by their natural state are in the maximum of disorder. The molecules don’t line themselves up; they’re just bouncing around. That’s what we would expect to find in the whole universe—absolute chaos. This led Albert Einstein to make this famous statement: ‘The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it’s comprehensible.’
