Is it permissible to use the word "coincidence"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This word is exactly like another word that is used:
Coincidenceالصدفة
"By Allah, it was a coincidence that I met so-and-so." The answer is the same. "Coincidence" is used by the atheists: "By coincidence, this universe came into existence," "By coincidence, this precise system was found, which has baffled the minds of scholars of astronomy, geography, and nature." But among the most severe and intense forms of disbelief is to say that this universe, organized with such precision, came into existence by a sudden change or by coincidence. Therefore, what is said about the word "coincidence" is the same as what is said about the term "nature."
