“You do have an effect on the universe.

“If we define a miracle as an effect of which the cause is unknown to us, then we make our ignorance the source of miracles! And the universe itself would be a standing miracle. A miracle might be perhaps defined more exactly as an effect which is not the consequence or effect of any known laws of nature.” IfsMightWould BeLawUniverseCausesKnownEffectsIgnoranceSourceConsequenceStandingMiracleDefinedLaws Of Nature Author:Charles Babbage
“The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.” ArtProblemActionLawUniverseGivenProcessNaturalProgressInfluenceSubjectsEffectsObjectsTheoryIndustryElementsResearchRelationConstantAidsExperimentsMathematicalAnalysisHeatCalculusNatural SciencePropagationMathematical AnalysisIntegral Calculus Author:Joseph Fourier

“Nature is not personal. She is the compound of all these processes which move through the universe to effect the results we know as Life and of all the ordinances which govern that universe and that make Life continuous. She is no more the Hebrew's Jehovah than she is the Physicist's Force; she is as much Providence as she is Electricity; she is not the Great Pattern any more than she is the Blind Chance.” KnowsMovingUniverseForceProcessChanceResultsAtheismEffectsBlindPatternsPositive AtheismProvidenceElectricityPhysicistCompoundsHebrewJehovahOrdinances Author:Luther Burbank
“[The human mind] finds more facility in assenting to the self-existence of an invisible cause possessing infinite power, wisdom, and goodness, than in the self-existence of the universe, visibly destitute of these attributes, and which may be the effect of them.” MindHumansMaySelfReligionUniverseCausesExistenceEffectsGoodnessInfiniteInvisibleHuman MindAttributesFacilityPossessingDestituteInfinite Power Author:James Madison

“The universe is like a river. The river keeps on flowing. It doesn't care whether you are happy or sad, good or bad; it just keeps flowing. Some people go down to the river and they cry. Some people go down to the river and they are happy, but the river doesn't care; it just keeps flowing. We can use it and enjoy it, or we can jump in and drown. The river just keeps flowing because it is impersonal, and so it is with the universe. The universe that we live in can support us or destroy us. It's our interpretation and use of the laws that determine our effects or results.” PeopleUseCareLawUniverseEnjoyResultsSupportEffectsCryRiversDetermineInterpretation Author:Robert Anthony
