Coincidence:
A sequence of events that although accidental seems to have been planned or arranged.
Of course! God plans things!

Yes. Don't get me wrong, coincidences can be random, and I don't really believe in destiny. I am also not overly religious. But there is too much that works out. As well, I know that some people seem to attract coincidence -- and that's not a coincidence. It's because they believe in something more, something that cannot be properly relayed here, although I think you believe in it too because you asked this question.
This quote might help as well:
"I could prove God statistically. Take the human body alone — the chances that all the functions of an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity." — George H. Gallup, American pollster (1901-1984).

Only in the fact that coincidence, not matter how unlikely, is a product of a completely random universe. Utilizing a god persona is only a human need to apply a concept of order to it. Life, and all of creation were just one big random occurence...coincidence.

I believe so. There were many times in my life that coincidences happened and I really felt there were from God. But, I think that Satan can also create coincidences too, so you must be careful.

Coincidence is just a word people use when they don't understand how God can plan things to fit so perfectly. God plans everything. There are no 'accidents' or 'coincidences', just his will being done.

I think that all "godly" acts are merely coincidental. So yes, coincidence is directly related with the concept of god. If you want some more good examples, try this site

I believe there is a God. I don't believe in coincidence, way too much dejavu. I feel like things are meant to happen a certain way. But we have choices. I also believe in karma

If the probability of the coincidence is very very low, and if the event is highly specified, then the combination of the two is a reasonable indicator of intelligent design (or intervention).
Cordially,

it does. Think of it, the decision you made to go to the mall, while walking, you see this girl that was in the same high school as you and you used to really like her. The mind of yours that made the decision was made by the universal system god created. The mind of yours is unique is different from billions of humans outthere. Think about it.

I have no idea. I have trouble distinguishing what is coincidence or God.
