Do you believe in "luck"?
Or are we on a road of design? Are you predestine to be as you are? Or is this just all a roll of the dice.
I never wish people 'luck' as I don't believe in it. Is believing in 'luck' an act of faith? Any different in a belief in God?

I don't believe in luck. Luck indicates gambling and I don't believe in that either. I think what God has planned will happen if I make the right choices-luck plays absolutely no part in it.

No luck is not a real thing and no trinkets can give you good luck - however there is such a thing as statistics and probability and maybe 'good luck' means 'May probability fall in your favour'
I dont think believing in luck is an act of faith - people think they actually experience good and bad luck - I suppose people will say they experience God so that might not be the best example. Luck under another name is something real and quantifiable. If faith is unnecessary then you can't compare it to religion.
Physics often says that the whole of the universe may exist at once, its only our perceptions along its path that give us a sensation of now but that doesnt mean its predestined just because its all set - or to be more clear - the fact that the future was set would not take away my free will though some find this hard to grasp.

Luck is the explanation we give ourselves when no other reason can be detected. It is an act of faith. But then again, everyone has faith. Atheist have faith there is no God. The issue is whether our faith is in something real or not. God is real, luck is a way of explaining away the unknown.

they could't; by means of the undeniable fact that is a medical truth they could both settle for or reject it. as an example, no individual is going round announcing they believe or disbelieve in gravity. Edit: interior fortress: "Survival of the fittest" isn't the perfect way imagine about evolution. Darwin himself did not use the word contained in the first version of foundation of Species. What Darwin stated is that heritable adjustments convey about differential reproductive fulfillment. this isn't round or tautologous. that is a prediction that could be, and has been, experimentally examined.

I do wish people good luck yet I believe that true luck is when opportunity meets preparation.

I think we make our own luck........the more positive we are the more luck we seem to have ....and the more negative we are the more bad luck seems to follow.
When someone tells my friend she is lucky her answer is.....'Funny, the harder i work the luckier i get'

There is no such luck and very few things happen by chance. If we are honest with ourselves we'll see that most things are cause and effect.

i believe in fate, not luck. things happen by chance, but i believe that the bigger picture is planned out for us
