The idea of determinism allows us to simplify our view of the universe, and to focus our efforts in manipulating actual cause-and-effect relationships in bettering our lives.  This is opposed to thinking "maybe" about a million implausible things, wasting time on them, and watching your kid die of cancer anyway or whatever because God "works in mysterious ways."  (read: He's a fucking cocksucking asshole P.O.S., and if we could kill Him we should)
We tried! We tried! Fuckers keep coming back to life!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
