Coincidence is a powerful thing. It has created religions, built careers, and destroyed nations. Humans tend to always think everything happens for a reason. If a person drops a pot on the floor and the kitchen light goes out, the person assumes that something about the pot dropping caused the light to go out; it could not just be a coincidence that both things happened at the same instant. People pray for a child to live and the child lives, thus God ansered their prayers, it could not be that the child would have lived even without the prayer.
Don't accept coincidence as fact. If something is factual, it can be duplicated over and over again under the same circustances. If the light goes off everytime you drop a pot, then there may a connection between the two events. Otherwiase, it is just coincidence. If prayers work everytime, then they my be valid. If they only works once in a while, and you make rationalizations to explain why they does not seem to work very often, then it is probably coincidence. If you belive in God, then you must believe he gave you a brain—so use it.
