Default Re: I\'m and Atheist and Believe in Predeterminism: Prove Me Wrong

I guess the real question is whether you believe there is true randomness in the Universe or whether there are some fundamental laws that govern everything.

If you think there is real randomness, then you don't have to believe in predestination.

If you think there are laws that humans might never be able to fathom, but nevertheless exist, then you must accept predestination.

Clearly, I obviously prefer the latter. As Einstein put it, "God does not play dice with the Universe."
