1. The two primary things that concern people

Are understanding and control. Ideally we want both of them for ourselves. Barring that we want to know that there is someone or something benevalent that has them. And even in the absense of that there are those that believe that there are malicious forces that posess these qualities. But it all relates back to the simple desire to understand and control our own environment.

Thus when people say there are no coincidents they are just saying something is in control and they wish it were them.
