I’ve seen this referenced a lot, especially with psychology, but can someone explain what exactly it means? How does correlation not imply causation? Sometimes, does correlation ever imply causation?

I always carry my wallet when I leave the house. I’ve never been attacked by a tiger outside my house. (Correlation). My wallet protects me from tigers. (Causation)
