As I had posted in "The Butterfly Effect"
Fate and Free Will are a matter of perspective. Both exist in my opinion. From the perspective of the person making decisions you can do as you choose, but chances are in general you are going to be concerned about your well being to a certain degree. This is one aspect of predictability. From the outside perspective you are making choices that are governed by unkown factors that will control your life. But you are unaware of them as far as your perspective is concerned you are just making decisions. From an all knowing perspective all your decisions and the factors around it are predictable. We have no proof of such an all knowing perspective yet, although intuition tells some it exists.
To say that the "Fate" perspective is more valid than the "Free Will" perspective would probably have no basis to it. We have no proof that one perspective is better and more true than another. All perspectives exist amongst each other.
