Q: If not God, then what entities manage determinism? -Israel Diaz
A: No entity is needed to manage the universe or fate in my point of view. I believe that when people think of fate, they shouldn't think of God planning their life from day one to the day they die. No, The universe is subject to the laws of physics, and one of those laws is the law of cause and effect. These chains of cause and effect are the ones that determine our fate, not some outside entity. Since the beginning of time, there have been causes that have been made which have made effects which cause other things. So ever since the first atom was created, we have had our fates sealed because that atom was caused to act in a certain way, which causes other things to act in a certain way and so on, until due to that one atom behaving in that one way, I am typing this blog post.
Although, I will concede that there must be a 'first cause' of some sort, and many apologists use this as proof for god, but there are many things it could have been as well, other than a being with will. It could have been a random fluke of the universe, which is what I'm betting on.
