Serendipity, God, and Google Now

This article is about how Google Now and similar artificial intelligences could start playing a role we often attribute to God or "the universe." If you randomly bump into your friend on the street, would you say that this is just random coincidence or serendipity? I was just having a conversation with two friends about Facebook's Nearby Friends feature, which alerts you if a friend is close to you. The idea is that if you know that a friend is nearby, then you would walk a few blocks to meet up and say hi. Now what if you were both using Google Maps to get somewhere and Google Maps suggested routes that would make you bump into each other?
