You make an interesting point about the origins of life and the planet being cataclysmic and chaotic. I do not see the evidence for this being the beginning state of affairs. It could be the world was indeed created perfect, all was good and harmonious, and fell into the chaotic state it became.
My favorite scene from The Book of Eli, was when Denzel quoted Genesis 3:18 describing the change in the world, and then proceeded to issue wholesale death.
