If so, then surely most everything outside the control of organisms with advanced brains & free will has been fated, no? Even these things are deterministic, because whether an organism survives and passes on its thought patterns depends on how much those thought patterns align with its environment and give it a survival and reproductive advantage. I want to be very, very clear that I am not trying to invoke the God of the gaps, or 'haha there is a gap in empirical knowledge here, atheists BTFO' or any such silliness. I am talking about the ultimate consequences of natural laws, by which I mean the direction in which they cause the universe to move towards.
So your position is that nature is deterministic in the context of life forms/living things?
You still have not identified a source of "will". So far all you've presented is supposition.

This one is already broken. What's the over-under on what its exit strategy will be? 1st Amendment violation by the meanie atheists?
