Basic Experiment
When I stand in my room I can hear the heavy traffic outside day and night, as I live on the Main Road of our town. If I take a coin in my hand and drop it, it falls to the ground. This is a given, as it is because of gravity. I drop the coin and then listen to a car passing by in front of the house. The car passing by is like the coin; it is a given that it would pass my house at exactly that time. The driver of the vehicle would have done nothing other in his life at that precise moment in time; because he was destined to do so. It was all pre-determined; like the moment I dropped the coin from my hand.
You can perform this basic experiment yourself. Drop a coin and think of gravity. Then listen to a car pass by outside. The one like the other had no choice but to happen. They are both a given. Thus the car passing in front of the house was pre-determined to be on this course at this exact moment in time.
Neither one of the two are co-incidence; they are both pre-determined. Furthermore, they are synchronized, and this is no co-incidence. This means the whole thing is timed.

It could easily be misunderstood, but yes, your reasoning makes perfect sense. You approach it from the angle of “timing”, or “synchronicity”. The poem “Predestination” of Rudyard Kipling describes the religious dilemma quite well. But I feel really one must very careful in making any “practical” conclusions.
Thanks hey! Cheers!

For the first time now I understand fully what you are saying. The fact that you dropped the coin deliberately and of volition makes absolutely no difference to anything.
You’re brilliant.

Exactly...
