“Predestination is the idea that the universe is a kind of film and its running, and it’s all determined how it’s going to come out, and there’s nothing anybody or anything can do to affect it. God created it, and its unfolding. Well the- uh [clears throat] the thing that makes predestination theory worthless in my estimation is notice that if that’s true, then you think what you think because you can’t think anything else and that puts the enterprise of seeking truth in a preposterous position. In order to seek truth one must have the option of screwing up, and uh, then it’s the dichotomy between the screwing up and finding truth that creates the sense of dynamic, uh, existential completion.”
