    No. We humans love seeing patterns, and often see cause and effect that are not there. It's normal, but fortunately we can lead lives free of superstition if we so desire.

    Universe is deterministic, so "fate" as you call it is all we have.

    For those that say you believe in free will, I say we have no choice but to do so.

    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice?

    Nope. I also don't believe in divine intervention, per se. It would conflict with the purpose of free will.

    You chose a perfect screen name for yourself. All your more meaningful posts and updates are consistent with that message.

    I believe in the many-worlds theory of quantum mechanics. You are living in every possible scenario possible, and there are a Googolplex of different universes existing where you don't exist in them. Our minds can only process events in discrete order though so we see our past and present as one continuous experience of "I."

    Today I went to Starbucks, and ordered a Grande when I really wanted (and usually ask for) a Venti. I get to the window, pay, and the lady tells me they "accidentally" made me a Venti.

    Now THAT'S fate.

    I dunno. I'd say that is minor good fortune smiling on you and maybe slightly bad service. But- still good fortune is good. 'Specially at SBucks.

    That is liquid yuppie crack dealing. I get that 'Oooops, we pulled an extra shot, do you want it' stuff all the time there. Cost is nill compared to bringing your back for the addiction.

    no it's fate

    I guess my fate cards are so darn cosmic and life changing that I have forgotten how dynamic coffee coincidences are. #hiddenbragonmyownfate

    That's is one theory ..

    I prefer to believe that God is in control of all things and that what is know as fate is his devine providence in our lives. Things happen for a reason and it is more than mere chance.

    I beileve in fate, we all do things with reasoning. Without reasoning we wouldnt do the things that we do leading us to the places that well be. Personally since I also have a faith in god I do also beileve that he controls our fate. I think we were all put on this Earth for something, that we live to see another daylight for something greater than just a coincidence.

    Ok so let's say God didn't create the earth or man, let's look at what we know 100% what did man create?
    The wheel
    Cars
    Fancy houses
    iPhone
    Greed
    People say if there is a god why are so many people in the world suffering still?
    I say that's probably down to man being greedy and nothing to do with God

    And you're okay of believing that? That you're God is so awesome and perfect that he created all things including lucifer and man and the tree of whatever it was? Sounds like he's playing you coz according to some Christians God knows all past present and future if that is true why did he create lucifer knowing he'll rebel later and why did he made man knowing they'll screw up later and why did he put the tree there in front of their faces and said don't eat it? that's likes dangling cake I'm front of a fat kid's face. In the end your perfect God isn't so perfect after all creating so much imperfect creation anyway that's my take on that deal

    Praying for you! #beblessed #godwillhealyourheart #repent
