The order of the Universe

In Chapter 20 Clement makes a rather weak point. He tries to use the apparent order of the universe, following its laws, to persuade his readers towards harmony. Whatever its rhetorical effect upon his readers, Clement here seems to be downplaying the presence of chaotic forces in nature, which the OT was well aware of [and the Book of Revelation!].
