MISSION: TIME & CHANCE
In the Bible, TIME & CHANCE was described in the same vein as a happening or event that carries with it the gravity of fate. Its almost equated as all the fortunes and misfortunes apportioned to each and every man and woman who ever walks the earth.
In Ecclesiastes 9:11 we read...
I find it particularyly interesting because it challeneges the dominant western logic of cause and effect The western mind casually think of history, biography and the human condition in general in mechanistic terms. There was simply no room for divine intervention nor divine ordinance. Then we wonder why despite the promising technological accomplishments of the last fifty years or so, history keeps repeating itself.
Was Ecclesiastes right all along? Are we living in a universe ruled by a counter-intuitive physics called by King Solomon as TIME & CHANCE ?
In Ecclesiastes 9:11 we read...
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
