As a buddhist I see it in your interpretative way, bentherdonethat. Just cuz I'm a buddhist doesn't mean that I cannot give leeway to science and common sense.
BUT, at the same time, the buddhist concept of karma is based on cause and effect and empitness, and therefore our actions have reprecussions across everything else. The reason why karma works is not because the universe says it must, but because our actions work within a matrix of cause and effect that is impossibe to determine what will happen to what. If karma exists in this manner then it willl be impossible to determine what is karma and what is simply determinism.
I support this affirmation.
Karma is only a concept which can or not correspond to our subjective judgment. The whole reality mechanism is thoroughly geared by cause and effect that we cannot really distinguish clearly.
