 God of the Hebrews and God of the Chinese   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Just as the God of the Hebrews was a triune God (even though there has been confusion of thinking that God was Unitarian), and consisted of a Father-figure, a Spirit Mother-figure, and Filial Word-figure (which was accented in the New Testament) the same seems to go with the God of ancient China.
This God was believed to elect noble emporers to justly govern society (The Mandate of Heaven), and their name was written in plural (just like the "Elohim" of the Old Testament), noting that this God had more than one persona.
Another dimension to this God was the concept of "T'ien" which seemed to be the Spiritual dimension or presence of God on earth, as well as a seperate persona part of the same God, and was described effeminitely (just like the Holy Spirit).

 What is Chaos?
Chaos, in the world of quantum mechanics, is unpredictable behaviour occurring in response to precisely deterministic laws.
An essential feature of the chaotic system is that its behaviour is non-linear, so that a small change in the initial conditions of an experiment (or of a situation in the real world *ahem* 'butterfly effect' is a goodie) may have a very large influence on the outcome of this experiment.
In the last few decades, the word "chaos" in the scientific community has come to mean behaviour of a system of particles which is unpredictable because the slightest error in calculating where all the particles are now greatly affects future predictions.

Two gods might be fused into one, but Egypt retained not only the new deity, but the two old deities as well, and thus instead of one god we have three.
