Dear Dr. Karen,

I believe that life is a gift from our God. And it is in our hands to do good things or bad things. And the end of life is in the hand of who has given it.

Best regards,

Rama

It's all about destiny my dear. How are you doing?

Dear Dr. Karen,

I believe that life is a gift from our God. And it is in our hands to do good things or bad things. And the end of life is in the hand of who has given it.

Best regards,

Rama

I believe in destiny

Since this is ResearchGate, we should try to take a scientific approach, or at least a rigorous philosophical approach to this question. I am not fully equipped to provide such a discussion, but I will add this bit of information, which may be able to spur further discussion.

If we think of destiny as "a future determined by prior events" then a deterministic universe would imply destiny. At the point in time that the universe formed, everything would be fully set into motion, and everything that we do and everything that happens to us would be fully determined. If however we live in a no-deterministic universe, the concept of destiny is weakened, though not necessary eliminated completely. On a local level, reality still seems largely deterministic. If I hit a cue ball, I can figure out where it's going to go, using simple non-probabilistic equations. However, anything that functions at a quantum level, possibly including our own decision making processes would still have a great deal of uncertainty.

So even in a non-deterministic universe, there's a degree of determinism, and thus "destiny" in the physical sense, but that does not mean that everything in existence is predestined.

Yes of course, I believe in destiny

Each person has his own destiny, which God gives him.

But a person during his life can change his fate without

knowing it.

Terekh Alexandr M., not only is your answer unscholarly, as are many of the answers here (actually all of them except mine it seems), but your answer is rather offensive to those who do not worship your god.

Rama I. Ali, you say that "the end of life is in the hand of [god]." So does that mean you would not become angry with someone that killed your child? After all, it is not the person who decided to end your child's life, but it is your god's decision. Indeed, if you are truly correct in your position, then becoming angry at anything that happens in your life is nothing less than a rejection of your god.

What do you mean exactly by "destiny"?

think we live according to our choices, and thus free ourselves from the chains of negativity, dependence and laziness, and our energies are directed towards change to build a better future... And God knows

Hello, "destiny" like "fate".

I like all answer.

But this question Has a very less scientific and social use.

So , agree with Dr. Daniel.

To believe in your destiny, you first need to know it. And to say "I believe in fate" in my opinion is not true. Only the Most High knows fate

Terekh Alexandr M., RG is not a place for you to promote your religious beliefs. Perhaps you can provide a scholarly paper on the existence and nature of this "Most High."

I believe in destiny.

Dear Daniel. God is one for all. I was not going to offend anyone. No need to find fault with words And I would like to hear your version of the answer.

Not everyone worships your god, Terekh Alexandr M.. Your comments are meaningless to those who do not. And they are quite offensive. Followers of Zeus likely care little for whatever god it is that you worship. Moreover, your comments are not scholarly. Now, if you could provide a scholarly publication describing and evidencing your god and how it influences events, that would be a different story.

This isn't to say that we cannot have a rigorous discussion related to this question. We can. Let's try. https://www.researchgate.net/post/Philosophy_Theology_How_does_anger_at_an_event_in_life_relate_to_belief_that_ones_god_determines_ones_destiny

No answer...

Let us say events in life are destined according to scriptures of any religion. Along with "destiny" comes a code of conduct (namely laws governing behaviour of society and individuals and law enforcing authorities) enshrined in those scriptures. So answer is act according to rights given under those laws. Don't take law in your own hand. (I am limiting my discussion to philosophy of the question).

I believe that is every thing occurr in my life is previously intended by GOD .If some thing bad occurrs in my life I always say prayers to ask GOD to help me to go beyond that bad thing.

Well if some thing good occurr in my life I also say prayers to thanks the GOD about that beatiful thing because I know that the bad and good things all are gifts from the GOD .

I still did not hear your version of the answer to the question. And you can criticize others quite well, I was convinced of this. Therefore, I do not intend to discuss the question of "my God" with you.

Best regards, Daniel.

I think that every event, decision and action is causally determined by an unbroken chain of prior occurrences. This does not necessarily mean that humans have no influence on the future and its events, but that the level to which humans have influence over their future is itself dependent on present and past.

Terekh Alexandr M., I suggest that you look further up in this thread. I most certainly provided an answer. Furthermore, I am quite good at criticizing. I am trying to be polite, but RG is not a place for people to promote their religious beliefs. It is a social network for researchers and scientists, and I would argue philosophers and other scholars. An answer should be scholarly. It should also not center around the assumption that your religious beliefs are correct, or that your god is the actual thing that exists, if any.

I have attached my original answer to this question.

You are right, RG is not the place for people to promote their

religious beliefs. But I was not going to do that. You are

right, RG is a scientific network. In it We can talk, answer

and discuss only any, but scientific topics, questions and share

your knowledge and skills. Thanks for the chat.

The very life we live is an act of destiny. I wholly believe in destiny because it is divine

Daniel Goldman, how long have you been on RG? I have been on it for almost a year and it is satuated with religious responses. It is also satuated with what I call conversion questions of the most appalling kind linking on many an occasion god (of course) to science, cosmos, chemicals, electricity, thought, thinking (thereby declaring that that is the one thing they do not do), jam making, and shopping. -Every other answer calls on god, references god, says god is the answer. My first week here I came across this question:

+Should we force atheists to believe?

I was, and still am, profoundly shocked. I also came across an exhortation to jihad. I try and ignore them now or respond if it gets too much. Or indeed have a bit of necessary therapeutic fun.

Stanley, I've been registered for a while, but I admit that I haven't been using it much until recently. It's odd to see the two extremes between RG and quora. I was banned from quora because of my vocal opposition to the religiophobia there. But here, there's just blatant proselytizing.

While there's certainly nothing wrong with asking a scholarly theological question, that's not what's happening here at all, and it's a problem. I don't think we should have moderators going around stopping any specific discussion, but I think we need a way of self moderating. I still like the idea of a tagging system: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Should_RG_implement_a_tagging_system

I added a discussion to this topic concerning destiny.

I want to add that aside from the fact that everything about us revolves around destiny as designed for us by God, it is worthy to equally note that destiny can be tampered with or truncated by the very owner out of carelessness or negligence. Hard work,commitment and strong resolve are precursors to destiny's fulfilment. God can not be held responsible for any wasted destiny.

I agree with Rama I. Ali.

Life is not strict line of detremenism. Life is a harmony of chaos. It's unpredictable. I believe that exists spiritual creative force which have drived and have defined the life .

Everyone is responsible for determining their own destiny

I agree with with Khaled Muftah Elsherif.

I believe in destiny and that doesn't mean that everything is intended in life for me.

Even though life is a destiny, no one live as life dictates. Each one gives his best to be at least on the top. We see and hear so many big people have struggled a lot in initial stages of their life and turned as role models. Human have such a tendency and will power that they can attain whatever one intends or the position to become. The only one thing is necessary is forget everything and concentrate on goal. There is nothing for a person that they cannot achieve. When one has an intention towards doing something or to achieve or to reach a certain goal it is in one's hand. The destiny will automatically be attained by hard work. For this one has to work in proper direction and plan towards attaining the goal. If one determines that life may take to destiny, life style goes down.

I'm not sure for me it's an either/or.... holding the tension between these polarities can lead to fresh insights...
