Even though we can't see which path the universe will follow (and therefore we have a number of possible outcomes), eventually time will progress to completion, and then everything will eventually have followed a particular path. Consequently, there will eventually be a particular array of decisions made that can't be unmade since they will eventually be in the past. [/b]
True.

Even considering time travel. Whatever you changed in the past will become the new past, and eventually time will run out for such a civilization and they will then be unable to change anything anymore. Hence a particular path will have been followed, even though we can't tell what it is yet. [/b]
Yup. Except that even if you consider time travel you cannot change the past. Because when you go back in time, the past you get to is never your past it is another timeline.
Quote:
In a logic syllogism you can phrase it this way: If the past cannot be changed, and time will eventually end, then our decisions will eventually be unchangeable, therefore we will make a specific array of decisions. [/b]
Yup.
Quote:
You might say, yes \"eventually,\" but that has no bearing on the present, where we make decisions. That's like saying that just because something hasn't happend yet, it isn't true. For example, the statement \"the sun might not rise tomorrow\" is true because we don't know for sure that the sun will rise tomorrow, we just have lots of evidence for it. It's the difference between inductive and deductive logic. *[/b]
The statement 'Because it hasn't happened yet it isn't true' is a statement that is false.
I have yet to make a false statement.
So im assuming the 'that' your referring too is something you wrote previously?
This part is giving me troudle. Please explain what you mean.

Conclusion, fate exists in a passive way that does not affect our control over our lives. [/b]
Well. Fate never did have controll over our lives. Our lives have controll over fate.

I have read the above sentence over 15 times. I simply cannot find out what it means.
Do not try and tell me what it means. It will take you too long. Because the truth is the sentence has no meaning, that is why i cant find it.
