Hume 6

"Though there be no such thing as Chance in the world; our ignorance of the real cause of any event has the same influence on the understanding and begets a like species of belief or opinion."

This statement just reinforces what he was saying with inductive reasoning. Many events can take place but with different factors, diffrent results may arise. We must look at all the factors, including the irregularities of life. Life can throw some curve balls out but at least one person in the stadium will have predicted that it would happen.
