“Father, where shall I work today?”
And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed out a tiny spot and said,
“Tend that for me.”

I answered quickly, “Oh, no, not that!
Why, no one would ever see,
No matter how well my work was done.
Not that little place for me.”

And the word God spoke, it was not stern.
God answered me tenderly.
“Ah, little one, search that heart of yours.
Are you working for them…or me?
Nazareth was a little place,
And so was Galilee.”
–Meade McGuire

Sorry, the scientist and mathematician in me is screaming about that whole “butterfly wing flaps to tornado” idea.

Chaos theory is the source of that idea, but the idea is a horribly sensationalized misunderstanding of what the models and mathematics of Chaos Theory actually say.

(This has nothing to do with the book, I’m sure the book is awesome.)
