Listen to yourself. Let's cut to the meat of your statement: if things were only positive then there would be chaos.
That's stupid, okay? Stupid. You believe that suffering and harm is something good. That people who endure horrible experiences or horrible lives are just part of what makes the universe great. I repeat: that's STUPID. I understand that people need something to make them feel better about unfairness or injustice, but making stupid shit up is what keeps people and communities and societies from working harder to make a better world-- they are sure that things will work out in some cosmic sense after everyone dies.
It's stupid.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
