if i give you a coin, and tell you to flip it exactly the same way everytime, can i predict how you will flip the coin and thus call the shots on how it will turn out? i think in the context of this particular question, there would seem to be a difference between relatively macroscopic physical questions, and those that determine intellectual / psychological / spiritual choices or events. additionally, at least from what little i know of physics and so forth, predicting the phenomena associated with length and time scales involved in coin flippage are quite different than those involved with molecular events and submolecular events, and i suppose also very large time and length scales. i suppose i would tend to think the questions of the mind/spirit are probably germane to original question posed; the second about whether we can predict everything that ever will be in the universe if we only knew the initial conditions with sufficient accuracy. if i'm not mistaken, this idea was heavily called into question when newtonian physics was somewhat superceded by modern quantum and relativity based studies.
