"Small" events only appear to be so. We may or may not have control over them. We have no way of knowing, because in order to test it, we would have to be able to time travel, which would be the least of our problems.
Further, Chaos theory dictates that the flick of a butterflie's wing in China can cause a hurrican in the Carribean. With that in mind, there is no such thing as a "small" event.

That's very true, being able to figure out if there is a higher power at work (fate, religion, whatever a person wants to interpret it as) is probably not something that's possible to figure out. But we all have our interpretations
