Like what? Definition of chance 1. a.The unknown and unpredictable element in happenings that seems to have no assignable cause. b.A force assumed to cause events that cannot be foreseen or controlled; luck: Chance will determine the outcome. 2.The likelihood of something happening; possibility or probability. Often used in the plural: Chances are good that you will win. Is there any chance of rain? 3.An accidental or unpredictable event. 4.A favorable set of circumstances; an opportunity: a chance to escape. 5.A risk or hazard; a gamble: took a chance that the ice would hold me. If chance is unknown and unpredictable how then do we know it follows rules? Definition of fate 1. a.The supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events. b.The inevitable events predestined by this force. 2.A final result or consequence; an outcome. 3.Unfavorable destiny; doom. Fate as predetermination makes more sense. Example, I drop a rock off a roof; fate tells me that rock will fall because that is a predetermined outcome of dropping something. If left to chance what guarantee do we have that the rock would fall fall? It might go left and then back up because chance is unpredictable.
