Theists: How can predetermined fate and free will coexist?

[Pat Mustard]

I'd say you'd be in line for the Nobel in Economics. Except there's no Nobel in Economics.

But if they went back in time and created the Nobel in Economics.... Checkmate, atheist!

What they actually did (in 1968) was chuck money at the Swedish central bank (I believe as a bribe while the Swedish government nationalised its country's bank of reserve), who used most of the money to set up the Swedish National Bank Prize in the Economic Sciences [sic] in honour of Alfred Nobel, and chucked the rest at the actual Nobel committee as a bribe so as they'd go along with the fiction that their prize had a connection to the Nobel foundation.
