May not, not does not.

Correlation and causation can be implied if you have a control. Or if you can rule out external factors. Saying it does not is not accurate.

The parrot wakes and sleeps with the sunrise and sunset. Does the Parrot Cause the sunrise? No. This happened BEFORE the parrot was born. Does the sunset cause the sleep? Throw a blanket over it's cage it goes to sleep. TADA! Causation!

When you have two things which you can't control, and that have been going on longer than you can observe it gets to be harder. Proving the Moon phase causes the Tides, not the Tides cause the moon phase. That's a bit trickier. Not in today's age, but at one point. There is a reason we thought the Earth was flat, and that you could throw a stone in to a pond and get a Turtle.
