Value of coincidences.

And obviously there's confirmation bias; no one comments on the billions of things happening all the time that they don't consider a coincidence.
There was another coincidence the other day, we both mentioned the great flood at the same time.

Yea, people always seem to take normally insignificant things and give them some significance.

There is a story of a quran surviving a fire that killed 4, but if I gave that to her she would deny it.
