If nature be opposed to miracles, not only the distinction betwixt vice and virtue is natural, but also every event, which has ever happened in the world, EXCEPTING THOSE MIRACLES, ON WHICH OUR RELIGION IS FOUNDED.

 The very nature and essence of chance is a negation of causes, and the leaving the mind in a perfect indifference among those events, which are supposed contingent. What may be the nature of objects considered as things in themselves and without reference to the receptivity of our sensibility is quite unknown to us. There are no attempts made at deciding what the ground of this unity may be, or what the real nature of this imaginary being. The aims set before us are not arbitrarily proposed, but are imposed upon us by the nature of cognition itself. Hence the proposition, "Nothing happens by blind chance (in mundo non datur casus)," is an a priori law of nature.
