DontRunMeOver

Thought I'd make a new post for this question.

Does anybody else, like I do, believe in fate/destiny, or whatever you want to call it?

My opinion is that in any situation there can only ever be one possible outcome. We don't know what this outcome will be when we are performing the actions which lead us to the outcome, but when you look back on them you see that they were the only choices that ever would have been made and the current situation is the only one which could possibly exist.*

This ties in strongly with the idea of free will, so it seems suitable to open it up on this thread.

Anybody else agree? Who disagrees?


*To that extent, although I loved Back to the Future, I think the whole time-travel idea is complete bullshit (as opposed to most other science fiction, which is just shit). Unless you count travelling forwards in time at the rate of one second per second, which I do all the time.
