Absolutely... undeniably...
I mean... sometimes you gotta figure, things are meant to happen. Take, for example... you're answering a question online, here at Yahoo Answers, and someone reading your answer really likes it... and sends you an email...
You begin chatting... and you begin to realize that you have a lot in common, and you enjoy each others company.
The events that brought these two people together... that's fate. A completely unrelated series of coincidences:
You may not have answered that question...
She may not have read the answer...
You may not have been online at that moment...
She may not have either...
The answer might not have piqued her interest.
So many things that need to fall into place to actually get these two people to start talking together.
THAT'S fate.
How can you NOT believe in that?

That is a question that I am not so sure but i do believe in karma. Fate... now i have to really think about it.
For some people, yes for others no. If you know things are suppose to happen one way and its fate.

Yes and no. I am agnostic, so I believe there is some kidn of driving force to the universe, perhaps scientifically explainable someday, but it is a force I believe without personality- like a thunderstorm rather than a person - I refer to this force as fate, or Fate, rather (though I don't habitually capitalize it).
As far me believing in fate as in predestination, I have not decided yet.

Ya! I mean what else is there to believe in the way things happen. lol. I do but others don't I think we all have a fate and we will have up and downs but we will overcome it all. That's fate.

Not in the conventional sense. I don't believe there is an ethereal force governing our lives and every even has been determined since the dawn of time. Because that in essence would negate free will. However I do believe that every event has numerous causes that have causes themselves and so forth; so everything that happens is the inevitable consequence of everything that happened before. Free will is maintained in that the choices you make are guided by past events. This is starting to get long so I'll wrap it up.
Short answer: no.
