Well, that was helpful! NOT!

They like to believe there's a reason. And the real reason in many cases is not because you didn't behave well or were exposed to some bad environmental influence, it's just because that person was unlucky. It's losing the lotteryWhat? It wasn't because someone three states away (downwind) thought about smoking a cigarette? It wasn't from hanging out in the sun? Or butter, or eggs, or red meat, or apples, or the mold on bleu cheese?
I sure am glad I have pretty much done whatever, anyway.

Exactly, saying it’s “random” is the opposite of citing a cause.

To understand God’s plan is impossible. Not everything will be discovered thru science but faith.

I dont believe that. Environmental toxins and lifestyle choices are a very big factor with some types of cancer.

It's losing the lottery." getting cancer is not like losing the lottery... it's more like winning the lottery... i say this because people win the lottery, but they do not lose it...

“The other nine types, including colorectal cancer.... were more heavily influenced by....factors like risky behavior....”
There is a message here that will not be put forth but is one that is quite clear to me.

Really.
Presumably bad luck random mutations occur very often—and the question is why those that take over do so.

Then why the H are we exposing our teens to Gardasil and it’s very terrible side effects? It has ruined my 16 yr old non sexually active granddaughters life. She is now on the lawsuit list. She developed RA which is progressive, FMS, and food issues plus some more stuff her mom does not tell us about. She has some good days, some bad, but her days as a active Ribbon Gymnast are done, as is her skying, horse back riding.

So cancer is caused by gambling?
To: All
so it must also mean it’s bad luck to be born in western countries in the last 50 years, because cancer was not as prevalent before that.
oh yeah, the luck theory makes a lot of sense. (and gruber thinks we’re stupid).

God’s plan includes random... Otherwise statistics would not work, nothing would be predictable.
Why do many Christians hate random chance? Random chance is part of the plan. Or random chance would not exist.

What they're saying is....The government is controlling your behavior (no smoking, no sweets, no fat) for no good reason....except that they can.
And pharmaceuticals....well, just look at the commercials....and the warnings.
Everyone's destiny is the same...if you live, you will die.
To: SeekAndFind
ignorant question, but would activities that increase the number of cell divisions increase your odds?

Exactly, saying its random is the opposite of citing a cause. Very encouraging. /sarc
I wonder how much they got in government grants to arrive at this conclusion?
