Do you believe in fate?

[Babayaro.]

Well?

[Niamh.]

No

[Babayaro.]

YES!

[Jessica.]

Nope

[Cherie]

yes 100 per cent, what is meant for you will not pass you by and there is an element of luck and being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time as well.

[Twosugars]

no

[Jay28jay2]

Used to but not anymore

[lewys]

nope

[Nicky91]

yes i believe in fate

[RileyH]

No

[Jessica.]

There is literally nothing that could even hint at fate existing.

[Niamh.]

There is literally nothing that could even hint at fate existing.

Yes exactly, what even is it? The universe or a higher power directing us to follow certain paths? If that's the case what's the point in making choices at all if it's mapped out already?

[bots]

Yes I do, we can help ourselves along as best we can, but if you have been dealt a crap hand, its still not brilliant, and the opposite is also true.

Too many times now a sequence of events has led me to a point I would never have dreamt of getting to.

all life is, is a sequence of events though

[bots]

all life is, is a sequence of events though

and if they are not in your control then its fate

[Niamh.]

and if they are not in your control then its fate

Fate implies that you're following a predestined path though or outcome, not being in control of certain things in life doesn't equal a predestined path it just means that you weren't in control of a particular event at a particular time.

And also, what would be the point in having a predestained path anyway, like who or what is in control of it and if someone or something is in control of peoples paths why do some people end up with horrific lives or causing horrific pain on others (serial killers etc) Is whoever arranging these paths some sort of sadist?

Not whilst free will exists

[Niamh.]

Not whilst free will exists

Exactly, I mean we're either living our lives with free will or we're characters in a play with Fate

[Wizard.]

How can fate NOT exist? Everything that happens was always meant to happen because it's the only thing that happened, there was no alternative. Argument over.

[Niamh.]

That makes absolutely no sense in regards to this discussion, unless you believe in time travel obviously only one course of events will take place, that doesn't prove that it was always the way everything was only going to happen or do you actually believe life is one big play and free will doesn't exist at all? That's really depressing

[Jordan.]

Exactly, I mean we're either living our lives with free will or we're characters in a play with Fate

Yep if fate exists we're all just robots acting out predeterminded actions. I feel like the entirety of life is one big coincidence rather than something that was destined to happen.

me too, people say "there's no such thing as coincidence" of course there is, why wouldn't there be? The likelihood of sometimes a coincidence happening is very probable statistically speaking

[Crimson Dynamo]

obvs no

but if you do believe in such a wooly thing that is just a word and nothing else


can you explain precisely how it works using the laws of physics?

No, but i also dont believe in harry potter so what do i know

[Babayaro.]

Ok here's a quiz

I was sat in subway eating my lunch, and the song playing on the radio was Fireflies by Owl City, and I was having a wee nostalgic moment because of it.

Fast forward about 20 minutes on the bus, and BAM, what was the first song that came on spotify after I hit shuffle...?

Coincidences happen all the time, why wouldn't they?


Also, how is that Fate anyway? :laugh:

its just that it meant something to you but its a random event. All you have done is attach some meaning to it.

what you described is nothing and has no meaning

[Babayaro.]

It was a beautiful moment, Niamh. It had to be fate.

[Niamh.]

It was a beautiful moment, Niamh. It had to be fate.

It may have been a beautiful moment but how is that Fate, Fate is following a choice less predestined path, nothing sounds worse to me tbh

next he will be saying "I hope neem bangs her head on a cupboard making Gav's tea as that would be Karma for slagging off fate"|

This for me too now.

I always kept an open mind on things like this and now, I do lean much more to believing in it.

Like as you say, some things just go way out the way of just being coincidence.

So yes I do.

[Elliot]

I like to be open minded but I highly ****ing doubt it

[Niamh.]

I just don't understand why people who believe in it would think it's something good though? Having no choice or say over whether your life turns out good or bad?

[Crimson Dynamo]

is everything we have leaned about the universe and how it is made, through hundreds of years of science and scientific research right or is it wrong because i experienced a bog standard coincidence and therefore i cant think of any other logical reason?

that is some kind of arrogance

smh
