Hey. I just answered one of your other questions. Weird huh? This website is pretty cool. It describes some strange coincidences that have happened all over the world. Like this story.
Finnish twin brothers, aged 71, were killed in identical bicycle accidents along the same road two hours apart, police said. "This is simply a historic coincidence. Although the road is a busy one, accidents don't occur every day," police officer Marja-Leena Huhtala told Reuters. "It made my hair stand on end when I heard the two were brothers, and identical twins at that. It came to mind that perhaps someone from upstairs had a say in this," she said

Yes but I also believe that fate and coincidences are two different things....I was in an auto accident I should have died that is fate......if i run into some one who has the same interest as I which may be different than most or knows some one I do that is a coincidences to me "small world"

Erm of course. I think you should look at the definition of coincidence:
co‧in‧ci‧dence /koʊˈɪnsɪdəns/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[koh-in-si-duhns] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance: Our meeting in Venice was pure coincidence.
Coincidence is something that happens, like luck, or an accident. These things just happen, you don't 'believe' in them.
Maybe you mean do you belive in fate, in that case then i would say yes, i personally do.

No there has to be a reason, If it we rent for that reason all these "coincidences" wouldn't happen. Everything has its reason for happening; if it did not what would be the point of existing??? There wouldn't be any. The universe had to come from somewhere. You can't make something out of nothing. An eternal uncaused cause is the reason we are here.

Coincidences are facts of life. Two things happen sdimultaneously which were not thought possible.I do believe in coincidences.

Absolutely! It is a pure coincidence that I came across your question. I had hit the UK answers option to try to filter out the yanks. And there was your question.
Now! If you happen not to be in the UK that will be beyond coincidence

I do believe in coincidences for many reasons. You will know when its coincidence or just luck.

I don't believe in coincidences.
I see them happening all the time everyday.
Its like asking, do we believe in the Sun, the Moon and the Stars?
