marriage brings greater order and can be understood as beneficial for that reason.

Viewing science in terms of ordering and disordering provides unifying insights into otherwise disparate phenomenon.  Aging, for example, ostensibly seems unrelated to the Second Law of Thermodynamics as biology and physics are currently taught.  Yet both can be understood clearly and simply as an action of disorder.

Focusing on order and disorder as the defining principles for nature has this additional benefit: [[action at a distance]] is no problem.  Field theories typically deny action at a distance (and predict never-found particles like gravitons).

New Testament miracles that ostensibly appear to be an unrelated collection of violations of physical laws, can be more easily understood as natural signs when viewed as a triumph of order over disorder.
