Do you believe that everything can be a coincidence until it proves otherwise?

Question

Do you believe that everything can be a coincidence until it proves otherwise?

Answer 1

It depends on the observer.

Answer 2

It would be alot of work for someone to make everything a coincidence, who has the time?

Answer 3

I don't believe everything has a reason (at least not in the sense that most people think), but coincidence involves chance, and I don't believe everything is just pure chance either.

Reality is a lot more complex

Answer 4

Well...

Yes...to be honest...I believe SOMETIMES that everything is coincidental until it proves otherwise.

Not all the times!!!

Answer 5

It's theoretically possible, but I'd be skeptical.

Answer 6

Well not exactly... we shouldn't assume everything is just coincidence just because we don't have proof. Just because we have no proof does not mean it wasn't coincidence. Take this example:

In a murder case the defendent got off free because there was no proof. It was merely coincidence the women died the same day he was at her house. However just because there is no proof we can see does not mean he didn't kill her.

So instead of saying one way or the other we should open ourselves to any possibility.

Just because there is no proof does not mean we should say it is a coincidence, we should say, "It's possible this is a coincidence, but there may be proof I just can't see to make it not a coincidence, however it is also possible there is no proof and that it is genuinely just a coincidence."

That way you are prepared and don't prejudge something unfairly.

But for our sakes yes everything is coincidence until proven otherwise, but you must understand what if we don't know there is proof. What if everything happens for a reason and there is proof, God, but maybe he doesn't tell you about the "GRAND PLAN" until your in Heaven so all of us down here assume its all coincidence everything happens but really its not.

p.s. that was just a metaphor, I happen to be agnostic so don't assume I'm very religous or some kind of brainwashed religion nut. :)

Answer 7

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Fair enough some things can be seen as a coincidence. I always look back on things in my life and everything I pick out I cannot see as being a coincidence but as being something that happened for a reason and each thing has changed my life in some positive way.

Answer 8

what do you think?

Answer 9

...I'm not "sold" on the idea of coincidences in the first place...most bizarre happenings of an inexplicable nature are Kismet

Answer 10

There is no coincidence....although there is time and chance, all things revolve in time.

Answer 11

i believe that not everything can be a coincidence especially if not proven,,its like using your own intuition on the matter, using your mind to see if its true,,like how are we supposed to know if there are really are other planets out there,,,we choose to believe it by what we see, b/c we believe what we see, but isnt it strange since we've never seen it face to face,,,so when faced with a coincidence, i believe that some things are,,but others are just destined to be non-coincidences if thats a word

Answer 12

The other way round:

I always suspect coincidence until causuality is dis-proven.

Answer 13

I believe everything has a reason until it proves otherwise, so no, I believe the opposite.
