Does luck exist? - flickynick - 16-10-2004
If it isn't luck, then you are saying it is possible to predict what the outcome will be with some degree of it being correct, lottery is random there are no physics in that...

I am a Christian, so I see where Dark Blade is coming from, but I'd still say luck exists.

There are physics but those physics are so hard and complicated that there's just no way the outcome can be predicted. And I think it would take at least the best computer in the world to calculate such kind of things. We can't even forcast the weather with 100% certainty. Not knowing something is certain and getting it to happen is LUCK! done, that's the plot behind a lottery... not being able to know what the outcome is.

It's still physical, even if you can't know the outcome. If it happens, it happens.

It is physical but that is not what's luck is about, as I stated: the outcome cannot be calculated. Therefore if you're a winner then you're completely lucky.

That would be using luck in the form of an adjective, and not a noun. How do you think either use would differ for the purposes of this thread?
