OK you are saying that claimed something extraordinary and decided that in your opinion it was coincidence?

That is valid in my mind, rather than saying that it must be coincidence because coincidence exists.

There are also a lot other factors, if you believe including what you believe.

Lots of people pray for success while at a gaming table. In my experiences their rate of success is pretty close to those prescribed by the probabilities of the particular game.

People who pray for enlightenment, for guidance, for patience, for forgiveness, even from others, often receive it. I realize the psychological implications of the above. On the other hand, no religion I know of promises that you can influence dice with prayer.
