Ahem. Where do I start?

Predestination, in a secular sense (after all bicycles are a human invention and were not given to us by the Creator, yet I would contend the Creator gave us the gifts to invent it and improve upon it), can address the innate force by which we are drawn to certain objects, ideas, concepts, individuals, etc.

Now, of course I did say "There is a theological explanation..." as to why Scott is drawn to my Radiant Coppertone Paramount. But that was done in jest because of conversations Scott and I have had regarding church and religion. I suppose I should have used a or possibly a or even a after that statement and then this confusion would not have occurred.

In the mean time, Bheleu, thank you for your observations, reflections, and well thought out argument as to why Providence is more at work in this instance instead of Predestination. How about another picture?
