Thanks.

Here I have expanded on my questions, you guys probably wouldn't know but I hope someone does:

He says that it is the regularity of things in nature that excludes the role of chance in their happening. For instance, that teeth always or for the most part are suitable for chewing must mean that they cannot happen by chance.

Or am I wrong and it is not that teeth are always suitable, but that they are always present in animals. Anyway, you can see how the rain/corn thing parallels this example, so does that mean it is not by chance that the rain causes the corn to grow?

Also, on luck, when going to the market and unexpectedly repaying a debt, is going to the market for the regular reasons the luck, and that by virtue of concurrance this is the cause on repaying the debt, or is the going to the market to repay the debt the luck, and by virtue of concurrence it is also the regular reason for going. In the analogy of the builder building a house and a flute player also building a house by virtue of concurrence, which is the builder and which is the flute player when it comes to going to the market and repaying a debt.
