God works in misterious ways, not to say, indirect.
God does not play dice with the universe.
He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who *smiles all the time*.
— Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchet, Good Omens
