If God created the universe, did He create the chaos within the universe as well?
Genesis 1:1 - 31
NKJV - 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
