Do you believe in coincidences?

Or perhaps more accurately, "do you believe coincidences are generally just that, or do you apply a large dose of scepticism to them?".

...

Update:

Hmm. First two answers, if your wife was acting "funny" and you saw the milkman coming out your back gate, you'd think that was a coincidence and nothing more?

...

Update 2:

((((prog)))), cheers! Had an awesome time!

    The word simply refers to events happening at the same time.

    There can be planned coincidences, chance coincidences, Divine coincidences.

    No such thing! God has a plan and a purpose for EVERYTHING that happens! We might only see one piece of the puzzle at a time, but God knows the big picture and He can help us put our life puzzle together if we just let Him help! (and when God does it, it always ends up turning out so much better than we ever could have thought it would have if we did it on out own!)

    There is nothing but coincidence, morality is random and arbitrary, and should I choose to go on a killing rampage it is neither good nor bad.

    Moral Nihilism at its finest. It is so liberating to know that I can cause as much sorrow and pain as I can in this world and nothing will come of it.

    I think everything happens for a reason...sometime things happen that leave you questioning if it was just a coincidence or not..but everything that happens plays a part in your life...

    What a coincidence! I came on to answer a question and here your question was!

  • 10 years ago

    nope

    i really dont, i used to, but its more obvious now to me that these 'coincidences' are just too 'set up' to be coincidence

    and too regular, the whole point in things liek that is they are supposed to be rare, things that dont happen and are a bit surprising, the 'coincidences' i experience , and others around me, are just too regular to be coincidence its more like, life

    what about yourself seals?

    coincidence? no, not much. God works all things together for the best of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

    Coincidences are all that are...

    Edit: The fact they met at all would be a coincidence...

    IMHO

    NO! I believe in God-incidences.

    God bless

    The bible mentions that unforseen occurences befalls us all...so things can happen just because
