No, it is not. Coz for me, fate is the same as destiny.

Yes and no. Things happen based on a plan, not just the random occurrences of a purposeless life. Some have called those happenings fate and coincidence. The Bible tells us that God has planned our lives to the minutest detail. We have a hard time understanding and accepting this because our brains are limited. God is infinite, all-knowing and gracious, so His plans for our lives are purposefully set for our greater good.
So fate, coincidence and even "luck" are man-made concepts that need to be replaced by the acceptance of God's hand in every part of our lives.

Yes. If fate is real than coincidence is part of it. Coincidence is an accident that is meant to happen and it's part of fate.

I do not believe in fate.
Coincidence just means two (or more) events happening at the same time. You can plan a coincidence.

Not at all.
Fate_The course of someone's life, or the outcome of a particular situation for someone or something, seen as beyond their control : he suffered the same fate as his companion.
Coincidence_ A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection

Sort of--"fate" is used more as a blanket term for thinking of all events as being predetermined, regardless of whether they believe there is an intelligent agent behind the predetermination.
"Coincidence" usually applies only to a single event, and is usually used to contrast chance occurrence with 'this happened for a reason.'

No. Coincidence is random-fate is determined.

Fate is what you are destined to do. Coincidence is what is done accidentally just happens to be what was done on purpose.
