The story of the coincidences

<de>   <fr>   <it>   <sr>

Once upon a time, many, many billions of years ago. There was only dust and water, but no life and also no coincidences! Then about 14 billion years ago there was a huge bang, the so-called big bang. This was probably the first huge coincidence in history. Because as far as we know, it had never banged so before. Only a few billion years later was then the birth of many other coincidences, which then produced really real geniuses. For example those who have taught themselves the writing, more exactly the programming, and have invented the DNA! We humans know about this only something since 1953.

All coincidences found this idea at that time so cool that they began to use this primal code immediately. With the help of this new programming language they could now give free rein to their creativity and they also went immediately to work!

Well, “immediately” is a bit exaggerated, it took them a few million years. And sometimes they died before they could realize their ideas. We assume, however, that they were able to pass on their smart ideas to the next generation before they died.

So the coincidences toiled on and on and invented 1000 billion times 1000 billion things – from the mosquito to the elephant – simply everything. The coincidences had spread in the meantime also themselves to an unimaginable gigantic army. The cooperation and the intelligence of the coincidences was extremely amazing. There e.g. one invented the musculature, another the heart, again another the lung. The chief coincidences were responsible then probably for the assembling. With the million-year time plan it was certainly not easy to develop all together at the same time. I also cannot imagine that there were e.g. animals with which the digestive tract was forgotten. What did the coincidences not have to think about everything! If one knows today, how sensitively e.g. the whole ecosystem is co-ordinated. Hats off, how the coincidences have considered so everything!

The biggest fun for the coincidences was to create living beings. But the older coincidences among them had to make clear to the younger ones that designing living beings is all well and good, but if these living beings then have no food, they would have to starve. So it happened that the coincidences first struggled with all the green stuff. Stupidly, they also invented plants and flowers that needed insects and bees to reproduce. So a lot of fauna rotted, but the coincidences did not give up and came up with new ideas every few hundred thousand years (how they solved the problem with the bees is still unclear).

Some inventions could also be reused thousands of times in the different genera. There was among many others a coincidence that invented the eye. This was perhaps an almost endless undertaking! Because his coincidence colleagues, who worked on the lens, simply needed much too much time for it. The eye coincidence team had, apart from the technical aspects, still a much bigger problem: The prototype ran to some extent, but one could not demonstrate it nevertheless, because the coincidence colleagues, who were busy with the brain, were about 225’000 years behind. There was also real trouble when it was noticed later that the eyes dried up because by chance nobody had thought of humidification. (But today, only those who have forgotten to refill the engine oil in their new car can understand this). The coincidences were just coincidences and that’s when mishaps happen.

The biggest catastrophe, however, was that they died out at some point for inexplicable reasons. Today we don’t find any traces of them, not even in the rock layers. But they must have existed. Aren’t the coincidences that still occur today a small proof of this? Only – in the today’s, ungrateful time nobody has more respect for them! One calls them mostly only uncharitably “stupid coincidences“.

Can be something true at the core of this story? The evolution theory with its “coincidences” and “how the life has originated by itself” are taught today in any case at every school. Also in most animal documentaries one wants to make us believe that the clever animals have developed by themselves so.

When thinking about it myself, however, I came to the conclusion that the majority here is probably not right. It is hard to believe that so many adult people prefer to believe in the fairy tale of coincidences than in God, the Creator who made heaven and earth.

Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president probably doesn’t think much of coincidences, because he said on June 26, 2000, at a ceremony about research into our DNA: “Today we are learning the language in which God created life.”
