Today, as of old, under the guise of false religious beliefs or utter irreligious thinking the people of the world accept superstition, fatalism, chance, or luck as playing a part in their everyday experience. Yet this age proclaims itself to be the age of science, and one definition of "science" that Webster gives is this: "accumulated and accepted knowledge which has been systematized and formulated with reference to the discovery of general truths or the operation of general laws."
Looking to the material picture alone, one might believe that at birth chance determined one's health, one's harmony, and one's happiness. To free himself from a long history or record of material circumstances, one has to acknowledge and understand man's relation to Deity and prove this relationship in daily affairs.
Christian Science teaches that man, the image and likeness of God, cannot be victimized by chance. Mind, God, is not unpredictable, nor is man the victim of unpredictability.
