The more we understand about the way our minds work, the more it seems our actions are soley determined by our genetic and environmental inputs. That free will is largely an illusion.
I'm not sure if that's the same thing as saying life's driven by fate. There are so many random, unknowable factors driving life, that 'fate' seems a poor description.
"then you didn't have a choice to come up with and write that point, then your point is meaningless and might as well have never been written"
This is where you're confused. People can still be intelligent and informed, making careful judgements. The fact those judgements stem from their brain chemistry doesn't make them any less valid than if they were formed in a soul, floating arround some where.
