1: Things just don't happen on purpose. Every event that happens is a result of random coincidence. Might seem odd to phrase it that way, but it's true. You don't set out to do the laundry on Friday night. You plan to go to the club, get drunk, meet someone and wind up in sheets. But the ATM says you have no money, your credit card is busted and by Friday night, work has taken all your energy away and you trudge home and start the washing machine. You plan to buy the paper when you leave the house to read on the train. Put .50 in your pocket. Get to the train station, go to your pocket. Find one quarter, but not the other. Head to the coffee shop to get a coffee instead. Walk out the door of the coffee shop and you see your friend from your last job and catch up on old times. All of that happened randomly.

I dare you to name one thing in this world that is planned and doesn't happen randomly. Science? Completely random. You may plan a test, but you can never be 100% sure what the outcome is going to be.

2:You are such full of shit.
1: Why do you say that?
2: Coming on here talking about random this and random that. Like some high level new age guru imparting your evidential wisdom on the masses who don't give a rats ass what you have to say.

1: What do they want to hear about?
2: Celebrities. Tv stars. Sports. Maybe a little politics. Definitely sex.
1: Religion?
2: Not a chance. Mysteries of the unknown. They want to know that this isn't all to life. They want to know how it all ends.
1: It ends badly.
2: That I will agree with you. Certainly can't end good considering how we came into the world. Squeezed through 11 inches kicking and screaming.
