I hadn't thought of that, but I really like it. The same mechanisms that
God uses to achieve elegant control of nature without overwhelming men also
enable our actions to have consequences. Very nice. It also illustrates,
if true, that we had better rely on His guidance in all of our actions,
since we have no idea what sorts of transitions our actions might cause.
