Luck & may be synchronicity

In Response To: Skill or incredible luck? (6deckShoe)

In the mid-1980's, a man in Canada won the national lottery two years in a row. Since it was known how many tickets were sold, the odds against this happening by chance was computed, and the answer was one in trillions and trillions- the exact number was said to be greater than the known stars in the universe. Yet it happens.

The scientific worldview tells us that events are not organized by any kind of outside force. Randomness rules. Science has offered chaos theory to demonstrate that disorder lies at the heart of nature and numbers. A coincidence says otherwise; it is like a brief period of reprieve from chaos- such as your luck- a series of lucky coincidences.
