PRECIS
The first thing that man learned, as soon as they began to study nature carefully, was that some events take place in a regular order and that same causes always give rise to same effects. The sun always rises on one side and sets on the other side of the sky; the changes of the moon follow one another in the same order and at similar intervals. Some stars never sink below the horizon of the place in which we live. The seasons are more or less regular : water always flows downhill, fire always burns, plants grow up from seeds, from which like plants grow up again; animals are born, reach maturity, and die age after age, in the same way. Thus, the notion of an order of nature and of a fixtity in the relation of cause and effect between such things gradually entered the minds of man.

| Order of nature and relation of cause and effect |
Answer:-
Order of nature and relation of cause and effect
Man's first knowledge about nature was that events have regular patterns of causes and effects. All-natural phenomena have their individual, unchanging elemental patter and properties. Plants and creatures have definite life cycles. This establishes t infallible law of regularity and the perennial relation of cause and effect in nature.
