No. I don't believe in karma but I do recognize karma in terms of cause and effect. I'm more privy to Chaos Theory.Do you believe in karma theory?

Karma is a pretty sentiment, but it's no more real than the god(s) concept. The truth is that rude and downright mean people constantly sail through life without experiencing any issues or upsets or "divine karma" kicking them in the butt.
One of the main reasons man created the idea of karma, or even divine justice met out by a deity, was because man thought it unfair how some people seemed to escape any sort of punishment for their conceived wrongdoings or antisocial behavior. Invent a vengeful god and a hell for "sinners", and suddenly man feels better about that which is out of his control to change or fix.

It isn't really a belief; personally perceive we could photo a karma balance with the right equipment; it is like feng shui is similar.Do you believe in karma theory?
Because according to the Dharmic, Zoroastrian, and Abrahamic eschatologies we're in a time of ungodliness to catch out all the demons in this realm, which shall be removed instantly with holy fire.If you believe , why the righteous do not rule the world?

What does this have to do with Karma? Why should ruling the world be a result of being righteous? The righteous do not seek power. It is the evil people and demon Gods that seek power over the world (with success). The power they thus achieve is a result of their actions.If you believe, why the righteous do not rule the world?
One does not need to believe in Karma anymore then gravity. It can be observed. Cause and Effect are deeply part of Nature both in material and the spiritual world. Science is based on the idea that effect are in line with causes. Without it there would be no science. And people in all cultures accept Karma often unconsciously. Sayings like "What goes up must come down", "You get what you give", "He got what was coming to him", "He ran out of Luck", etc all express the idea of Karma. People that reject Karma have a too simple idea of Karma. Like, I do good to you, so you do good to me. That can only lead to disappointment.

People see Karma to much in terms of reward and punishment. That is not Karma. Mother Nature does not reward or punish, it only gives us laws of Nature that govern actions. Whatever we experience is the result of our own actions. Basically that is the base of free will. If we could not influence our fortune and misery there would be no free will. We all know we can. What we need to learn is the right way to go about to get more enduring positive effects. Nature allows for a right path of action, in Eastern religion this is called Dharma or Tao. But the same concepts are present in all Nature religions.
The strive for power over others certainly is the wrong path of action if you seek enduring happiness, but it certainly brings power, no doubt about it. It just does not work out the way you imagined it. It would be strange if evil people did not have power as they are so determined to get it and also heavily use religion to that extend. That would defy Karma. If your actions are geared towards achieving power, you will certainly gain power if you persist.
Karma is best understood as the fruits of your actions. Your actions are the seed, Karma the fruit. People should not confuse Karma with the concept of Judgement of God found in Abrahamism. Abrahamism does not have a good answer why people suffer. The best answer is in book of Job where it is explained that God and the highest servant Satan toy with people to make them suffer. Which is a horrible idea. Just as fatalistic as the the idea that it is all a matter of coincidence or the idea that suffering is actually good for people.
Karma can only be understood in combination with Dharma (right action) and Samsara (rebirth). It explains why some people are born in terrible circumstances or constantly have to suffer, seemingly without reason. This is explained by their actions in past lives. It also explains why some people seem to be lucky all the time. Karma does not make fatalistic, but empowers people, as no matter how bad the circumstances, one can create a better future by starting to live right. Nor does one have to accept suffering one can avoid or alleviate, only the part that can not avoided is fated. In such cases knowledge of Karma helps to accept suffering and how to overcome it.
Understanding Karmamore conscious about the effects of their actions and thus live better.
It is not a matter of believe. Does science say, the Law of Gravity is only for the believers? We have come to accept gravity as a useful way to understand and steer reality around us. In same way the law of Karma helps us steer our actions in more beneficial ways. Dharmic traditions are not based on belief, but like western natural science based on study of Nature (Knowledge).o the many who don't believe in any gods are included any

Gods are not related to Karma. Gods are subject to Karma like all other beings. Gods are phenomena and beings in Nature. You do not have to believe in them either.
That is what differs Dharmic, Natural traditions from Abrahamic religions that are basically belief systems or philosophical frameworks build on a central idea. In this framework everything revolves around a central being, the Abrahamic God, which becomes the base for all the other related concepts. Actions are not judged on their effects on the actor and environment but primarily whether they comply with the Supreme rulers commands. Karma is replaced with Gods approval. Belief becomes fundamental to acting right in this system as what is right is defined by the system, not by nature.
There is a lot of misunderstanding of what a theory means and what proof of a theory means in science. People often think science proves abstract notions. No, they only prove that abstract notions can be useful in explaining/predicting the world through relations of abstract notions.The theory of gravity can be proved. Religious beliefs?
