just as I will be sure not to mix up the 2nd and 3rd laws, you will not concentrate on the technical mistake.

The truths known by the laws of physics do show themselves in biology. The basis of evolution is something that is driven by actions and reactions, such as an increase in adaptive pressure (as the action), for example. These truths are applicable to anything, and I am simply showing this in another way. You can call it any "ism" you want, but that does not take away from my argument at all. By the way, it is not an occasional congruence, becuase it works.

While there may be a difference, the real meaning behind it remains the same. Logic and reason are things that show a real thought process. In reality, it is both that are used in many theist beliefs, not just one of them.

There is a great more similarity between karma and Newton's 3rd law. Whereas Newton's law is applied physically, the same exact idea can be applied in many other ways. History, for example, demonstrates this principle to a high degree. The parallel to karma is quite obvious, as it is the exact same idea put to another aspect of existence.

Reagan and Bush now have terrible karma. You can see this at work even in this life (although, in reality, it takes much more than one life to play out), as Reagan's mind descended from reality, and Bush was voted out by a wide margin (these are just some examples). Reagan's son himself is now fighting on the Democratic side, a fight that is in contrary to what his father did. Making an assertion based on the passage of mere years is just not realistic. Karma takes time to play itself out, but the evidence for it is surely there. JFK might have been killed for a variety of reasons. It could have been because of his affair with a woman, which would be the action. Whatever the case, the assassination was done because of something, which is a reaction to an action. It works perfectly.

Einstein applied Newton's laws to something more. Sure, it had to do with physics, but it was applied to something more than what Newton did. Why are you so unwilling to apply the same truths to something different, something more?

Why has every tyrant fallen? Why were the Romans invaded by Germanic tribes after centuries of invading Germania? How is it that both Napolean and Hitler met a terrible blow in invading Russia? Why has every part of human history revolved around actions and reactions? Try to answer that.

Something that is true in all situations should be treated as such, and it is not dangerous to do so. Why do you think the saying "what goes around comes around" has been said so many times in so many different situations?

That person's beliefs on a black cat was not backed up with real reason or logic. There is quite a difference between praying to something and attributing bad luck to it. There is nothing wrong with praying to animals at all, as they are just as "divine" as anything else. That has meaning behind it, whereas being afraid of an animal has none (or little). That is much of the difference.
