You've just got to guard against drawing that conclusion because correlation doesn't show cause and effect.
So we're all in agreement here that correlation does not imply causation. But now for the more important question: how can we tell the difference of correlation/causation for phenomena in nature? Since we can not argue deductively that the laws of nature necessarily hold tomorrow because they hold today.
