Actually you're wrong. The universe isn't pre-determined, it is a probability wave/function. That is, you can only give a possibility percentage that a given event will happen, not an absolute answer. This is due to Heisenburg's (spelling?) Uncertainty Principle, which isn't just a limitation because of the apparatus used to measure the experiment. The Uncertainty Principle is 'built in' to the 'fabric' of space-time.

A good example is Nuclear Decay. It is completely random. You can only give a probability percentage for when a nucleus will decay. It has no cause.

The fact that we can't see a cause don't mean it isn't caused.

Absense of evidence is not evidence of absence.

 

 

 

True. I should have put 'seems to have no cause'. Although because of the absence of evidence, the logical view is always the skeptical view, ie, it has (seems to have) no cause. Much like the the existence of God. There is no evidence for the existence of God therefore he (probably) doesn't exist, until you can provide evidence for his existence.

 

 

 

Hehehe, yes. You should have put 'seem to have no cause'.  Semantics FTW. Never speak in absolutes, only possibilites.

 

AHA!!! No absolutes means possibilities which means the universe isn't pre-determined which means we do make choices
