FATE...Fate is synonymous with predestination. It is often used in reference to topics on spirituality and religion. It advocates that intelligent design and purpose are at play in all processes.
Coincidence offers a non-religious, irrational explanation that is readily accepted by those that oppose any form of intelligent design. Its premise is found on the law of chance. Those that believe in coincidence usually believe in luck.
Whether by coincidence or fate, luck or design, these two concepts are but different sides of the same coin: opposing explanations to a singular occurrence.
There used to be a very clear line drawn between the things of science and the things of the spirit. Science was logical and sequential and spirituality was based on experiences and beliefs that could not be proven. It used to be that the two never met on a common platform.
This line has now become very vague.
Taken from: http://hubpages.com/hub/Coincidence-or-FateI had an interesting experience today and it got me thinking... was it coincidence or fate? Have you experienced things that you KNOW were not just random happenings? Have you ever felt like something bigger was making things fall into place? Sometimes it's cool to see it unfold before your eyes. Sometimes it's astounding! Either way, I love when something unexpected happens to brighten your day :D
