You have neurons and chemicals, evolutionary instinct environmental stimulus within a physically deterministic system there. So if you decide to believe it you're claiming to be a robot who can't really decide anything therefore you nullified yourself from making a rational choice. There is only one rational choice you're free to make which isn't materialism.
Determinism is not the same as materialism.
And it is yet to be proven that a materialistic universe has only one predetermined outcome.
On the other hand your very theology denies the possibility of free will if your god has an ultimate plan for everyone.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
