Every single choice you make, every single thought you have, at any given second... every electron that fires in the mind of any living thing... is a result of the universe existing "exactly as it is right now". Which effectively means there is no such thing as "random" or "chance". When you roll a die it's not "random". You can't predict it because of the variables involved - but there are variables involved. What way was it facing to start with? How hard did you throw it? Did you spin it? How far did it drop? Because if all of those things were repeated exactly, the number would come up the same.
So I guess... yes, maybe? If everything came from "somewhere", then everything is the result of one infinitely complex equation. But if EVERYTHING is part of the equation... then maybe there are no variables after all. There's no outside influence to change anything in that equation. An equation that made me type this post, or have eggs for breakfast. It was always going to happen.
