Coincidence?

I note that ex-president of the USA George H.W. Bush (aged 94) died yesterday. When he was 20 years old, navy pilot H.W.Bush was plucked from the Pacific ocean after bailing from his flak-damaged TBM avenger aircraft onto the deck of the USS submarine "Finback", a very lucky and rare rescue. Just so happens that my favorite brewery of 2018 is called "Finback" brewery based in Queens, New York, coincidence? Probably, but makes you think doesn't it?

Actually, no, not for a nano-second, that's the nature of such a complex reality, i.e. the one we actually live in right now! Correlation does not imply causation. But, religious people want us to believe that their remission from cancer is due to them whispering magic spells to an invisible man in the sky, OK, that's their prerogative, but, the rest of us prefer to go by the stats! We find we're right more often than them when we do that.
