@Valkyrie_D For me it comes down to cause and effect.

@Valkyrie_D I believe everything happens because something caused it to happen.

Reason implies that there was some intelligent plan beforehand, and that there's a _good_ reason something should have happened.

What I observe is people form connections, make decisions, make mistakes, and we see the results.

Just because there may be causal reasons for a "coincidence" doesn't mean there was a benevolent plan. It can just mean it's the juxtaposition of events we blundered into.
