It's a possibility, that he is referring to mother nature as god. The pressures of chaos are natural selection and the delicately used term "survival of the fittest". Its not clear enough if he actually had these ideas, we only assume he does because we already have the concepts and information on evolution, natural selection, natures interactions..ect. We might just be completely misinterpreting this whole idea. Maybe he's talking about the evolution of the human race, how dominant we are and have become.

Very true, they did not know all this yet, Darwin hadn't written Orgin of Species yet, so evolution wasn't a talked about item, mostly because of church. It frustrating when one thing can have so many interpretations.
I kind of agree with Mark in the sense that he may be looking at mother nature as a god-like figure, but not necessarily god. He seems to look to nature for explanations and methods of how things work, the laws of nature, the sun and stars, the idea of the moon being the cause of ebb and flood, gravitation, and the motion of the blood in the heart and arteries.
