Is chance a causal agency ? Does chance have being? Can it be a cause of anything?

Question

Is it chance that produces the results of a coin toss, or laws of weight,velocity,time,and force of gravity and no chance at all?
Does a chance then describe nothing?
If you have a chance meeting, that means it was unplanned not without cause, for although it was unplanned and unexpected, it still happened because it had a cause, just not a cause that you knew of or had any part in.
The cause was because your friend was there and you were there, and you were both there for various reasons or causes. The meeting was caused by these separate independent factors.
So if I say I met my friend by chance, what am I really saying?
Answer, that I ran into him unexpectedly.
So if I say as some are in the habit of saying, the Universe was created by chance, what does that really mean? Am I saying the universe was created by unexpectedly? If Chance is a description then it is an adjective and not a noun. Can an adjective be a cause of anything? Then, can chance be a cause of anything?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as chance,luck or accident. all are the result of some Cause and effect though cause is not visiable. we create our own life circumstances and destiny through Desire, & Karma, actions in thought word an deed. One can rise into spiritual life, doing dharma, duty in service to God.

Answer 2

I personally would compare"chance" to FATE.Since I am into metaphysics I believe there is a cause and effect for EVERYTHING that happens.We don't understand the reasoning behind the fate in our lives, but I believe everything that happens, though it may seem totally meaningless,has a connection to everything in the universe.All is one,we are on a karmic course.Just one step {to the left or the right????}will alter the rest of your life in some way.DESTINY!!The word CHANCE{to me} means unexpectedly.What about FATE----is that unexpected? Good question,something to think about.

Answer 3

Yes.
