Chaos theory, the principles underpinning certain nonlinear equations, also requires us to adopt a probabilistic description of many natural phenomena. The sizes and orbital positions of the planets in our solar system, for example, depend sensitively on the starting condition for solar system formation. If we ran the creation experiment again with slightly different parameters, we would get a different collection of planets with different orbital characteristics. But the results are not purely random. If we produced thousands of solar systems, again with similar but not exactly the same starting conditions, we would obtain a well-defined distribution of planet properties and planetary orbits. Although we cannot make exact predictions for any particular experiment, in principle we can determine the odds of getting any one type of planet or solar system. This intricate interplay between chance and determinism occurs throughout our physical universe and can even be applied to the consideration of how, and in what form, life can evolve.
