Metaphysics Theological determinism‚ also known as theological fatalism‚ states that if an all-knowing God knows what we will do in the future‚ then this proves that we do not have free will. This is the idea that‚ if God knows the future‚ and God cannot be wrong‚ then the future must be predetermined.
