"* In 1975, a man riding a moped in Bermuda was accidentally struck
and killed by a taxi. One year later, the man's brother, riding the
very same moped, was killed in the very same way by the very same taxi
driven by the very same driver -- and carrying the very same
passenger.

* Twin brothers Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were separated at birth
and adopted by different families. Unknown to each other, both were
named James, both owned a dog named Toy, both married women named
Linda, both had a son they names James Alan, and both eventually
divorced and got remarried to a woman named Betty.

* Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, and John
Adams helped to edit and hone it. The Continental Congress approved
the document on July 4, 1776. Both Jefferson and Adams died on July 4,
1826 -- exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of
Independence.

There is a "coincidence" far stranger than any you list :
That there is something rather than nothing!

Particular combinations of the somethings may be amazing,
as you list. Those cannot top the amazing fact of those somethings
existing, at all.

Jehovah is into Justice. Fate, however, seems to prefer irony. But
why? And looking back at history, of the two, I see a lot more irony
than justice.

Campbell & Eliade seem to say that the original Aryan creation myth

physical universe.

Seems reasonable, but that dont explain why the truck with the jumper
cables always has a good battery, but the one without always needs a
jump. It dont explain why 18 of the last 20 trees I noticed that fell
over- did so across the road to my place on round mtn.

Ultimately, however many worlds there are, its the one we see that
counts.

I agree, existence is amazing. As I was saying in another thread, a
rock is a simply amazing creation to me.

Why there is something rather than nothing is less relevant to me than
the fact that there is something rather than nothing. (although
technically, I think there is both something and nothing
