Truth is that we have no contol over things in the world including ourselves.Things happen as they do, despite us.We imagine cause and effect relationships;in fact causal relationships are only a tool of our mind to categorise events.
The only way to remain happy is to change our perceptions of the world and accept things as they are.(even here our choice is limited as our dispositions to perceive are predetermined , whether you accept it or not)

On GOD.
So long as the concept of God is limited one with attributes the controversy shall rage.Reality is something one seeks in Religion and Philosophy.God with Name and form is for those who are early seekers.Ultimate Reality is characterized by Being,Intelligence and Bliss(Sat,Chit,Aanandam) .It admits no plurality.It is the embodiment of of all things known, unknown and unknowable.It is reached by delving into and searching within oneself.
Knowledge is from the external world.We gain knowledge through our senses and mind,intellect and Discriminating power.It is better to inquire into ourselves rather than going after multitude of things in the external world.This process involves application and practice.
Who says all phenomena obey physical laws?(Known laws).Kindly go through Quantum Theory where you will find multi verses existing at different planes all at the same time and time recoils itself.
