-To borrow a line from Elim Garak, one of my favorite characters on Star Trek: Deep Space 9:
Simple numbers would indicate there would almost certainly have to be some coincidences in the Universe, considering the innumerable galaxies in our Universe, stars in those galaxies, worlds around those stars, other bodies about which we know little or nothing, what life may be on those planets, the creatures living on those planets, the molecules making up those creatures, the atoms making up those molecules, the sub-atomic particles making up those atoms, and all the other levels of creation we know and theorize about all the way down to String Theory, where things are made up of one dimensional strings. Somewhere in this existence there are coincidences. Some are indeed likely to be signs of one kind or another. However, for us to be able to decipher most of these without guidance from God seems somewhat like two plague bacterium discussing what kind of dog their flea is on.I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences.
One of the unfortunate side effects of this is that there are many charlatans eager to pounce on scripture to show why their interpretation of scriptural symbolism is an accurate way to follow them to follow God.
