Whether chaos exists or not probably depends on the scale you are asking about. Nothing happens by accident, so chaos is a type of order. It is far from being beyond our grasp, unless we are missing the information required to do so. Read up on the law of attraction as taught by Jerry and Esther Hicks and start accumulating your own verifications.
I predict you will be blown away by its simplicity.

Chaos is disorder but after some careful study researchers have discovered that sometimes a phenomenon or a quantity such as the drip of water from a leaky faucet or the population of a tribe of wolves will withstand a perturbation like a very slight increase in the flowrate of water or colder winters without huge deviations in the behavior. But then a tipping point comes where a little more stress causes a huge divergence in the behavior. Sometimes there are multiple islands of stability, like maybe the drips come two in quick succession from that point on or the wolf population goes to half. These are the baffling things we don't understand though they can be studied. Oddly it is quite common in the functioning of the central nervous systems of human beings.
But seriously.... try this. Use the expression P2=r*P1*(1-P1)
pick a number between 0 and 1like .5 for P1 and 1.8 for r. Calculate P2. it results .45.... plug .45 back in you get .444 keep going til the result tends to a limit.... it tends to (r-1)/r. Uh, a little trick is to use Excel and have it do the calculations.
If you did that next try r=(try different values between 3.1 and 3.45) Amazingly you will find that the population is bimodal. That is numbers for r that are close together will converge on two different values. This will be a pattern for all values of r between 3 and 3.45. Guess what happens above r=3.45? There are 4 closely related values that result..... if you keep going it goes to 8 and then at r> 3.58 it becomes truly Chaotic. No patterns .
It's fun to be pushed closer and closer to the edge of chaos clinging to mysterious order and then at the last second have the rug pulled out and fall into complete chaos. Don't you think so?

No, chaos is not an order that is beyond the grasp of human comprehension. Choas is the regression of order through the principle of thermodynamics or the principle that the entropy in a system will increase with time, entrypy being the disorder degree.
In the case of being an order that is beyond the comprehession of humans, it is impossible, as the entropy here referes to t he energy to do anything useful or organized, when it increases, there is no useful energy left in the system.
For inscatance, whjen an object uses energy from a source,, it uses less then it is provided, the enreyg radiating away as heat. WHen it is done a loop, the enery reduces with the cyles, and in the end, the energy is zero.
Antoher example, involves the heat death of the Universe, or when all heat has evaporated into cooler systems, making the heat equal.

Not sure what you mean by "chaos."
A system is "chaotic" if even the tiniest change in initial conditions will induce a dramatic change as time evolves. Like the butterfly-hurricane example: weather systems are chaotic in that you cannot predict how they will behave because you cannot get *all* the information about the system at any particular time, and the flap of butterfly wings could, eventually, cause a hurricane across the globe (chances are that it won't, but it could). These systems still obey physical rules and have their own "order" but they cannot be predicted.

Chaos: a situation in which everything is happening in a confused way and nothing is organized or arranged in order
(as defined in Dictionary)
When used as a noun:
1. a state of extreme confusion and disorder
2. the formless and disordered state of matter before the creation of the cosmos
Antonyms: order, peace, calm.

I think chaos and uncertainty is just terms used to describe events that we can't accurately predict - and being the pompous people we are, if we can't predict the outcome, it must be random.
I suspect the real reason we can't predict the outcome of certain events is because we don't have all of the information, the cause is too complex or there is simply too many factors.

Chaos can be defined as random violent events. However, nature really is caused by chaos, and without collisions and chaos nothing would exist. Just look at everything from a molecular level.

Perhaps it is; after all, chaos theory is a usable mathematical construct :-)
