That reality is predetermined and that free will does not exist

"To say that out world is predetermined is to deny the power of human though. The very fact that we are able to ponder over the nature of our world points to the fact that the world is undetermined." If in our pondering, we stumble upon a formula that allows us to predict the future, then the world must be predetermined. I will argue that it is possible for us to find such a formula and use it to predict the future while still pondering over the nature of the world. If such a formula exists, then the two are not mutually exclusive. "Theological determinists..." I concede that theologically speaking, predestination is difficult to prove. "Another way is to approach the argument scientifically. Those familiar with quantum mechanics would know that heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that there will always be uncertainty in our measurement, due to the wavelike nature of subatomic particles. Thus, any event always has a non zero probability of occurring even if that probability is small." Either an event occurs, or it does not occur at any instant in time. Subatomic particles must have a position and a velocity (that may not be measurable) at every point in time. Regarding quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement proves that reality cannot be local (http://arstechnica.com...). The fact that nonlocal variables exist supports the de Broglie"Bohm theory of quantum mechanics (http://en.wikipedia.org...), which is deterministic, meaning that it allows the future to be determined if the current state of the universe is known, suggesting that the future/reality is and can be predetermined. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle does not matter in this case, since the current state of the universe can be guessed if not measured. The only way for reality to not be predetermined is if true randomness exists in the universe. Thus far, the exact opposite has been found to be true. For example, a "random event like the roll of a die" can today be predicted with very high accuracy based upon the velocity and spin of the dice that is being rolled, the wind speed, etc. Although it is not possible to disprove the theoretical existence of a source of perfect randomness, thus far, nothing has been found to be perfectly random, suggesting that it is more likely than not that reality is predetermined and free will does not exist. "If the deity's decision is based on some logical reasoning then it should have been possible for us to deduce that reasoning and therefore predict the outcome of events. The fact that we cannot do so means that reality is undetermined." A more likely reason that we cannot perfectly predict the outcome of events is that the our tools are not good enough yet and the logic governing the universe is very complex. For example, hundreds of years ago, this same argument was used against Newton and other such scientists for why science could not explain the world as well as religion. However, science is getting better and better at predicting the outcome of events. The only level at which there currently are difficulties are at the quantum mechanical level, and even there, the only reason why there are difficulties is because of the measuring equipment used (http://www.nature.com..., http://www.tgdaily.com..., http://www.bbc.co.uk...). Given how recent quantum mechanics is, and that some quantum mechanical theories do allow reality to be predetermined, it seems likely that even at the subatomic level, pure randomness does not exist.
