A few points:
1/ I agree that the term "Fate" isn't ideal here. A better argument I think would be "Does free will exist?". Fate is not exactly the same as 'No free will', and this only acts to complicate the argument. It tends to have a more mystical angle to it (destiny?), so it may be possible to argue to neither Free Will nor Fate exist.
2/ I can see this rapidly turning into another "Existance of God" arguments:
- Free Will arguments tend to work against evolution, especially when people here say things like humans have free will, and animals don't.
3/ Saying that we don't have free will, does NOT imply that we have no control over our lives. Quite the opposite. It recognises that the decisions we make are governed by reason (which is based on history, fact, knowledge, etc..) rather than some arbitrary decision potentially based on nothing.
