If the Universe could be rewound and set in motion at the same point once again it would unfold in exactly the same way every single time. So no matter what I do I will always do what I have been predetermined to do. I could try to somehow work against it but of course that was predetermined as well.That would be fatalist universe. It's certainly true that in a fatalist universe you would either have not free will..or it wouldn't matter to outcomes if you did. The same may be true in the real universe as well, lol. Additionally, if it's true, then it's true regardless of the existence of any gods.
