I am from the belief system that things didn't have to happen the way that they did. Things aren't predetermined. It is impossible to know what is going to happen until it actually does. The movie Minority Report had a scene in it in which Tom Cruise rolls a ball down the desk and Colin Farrell catches it before it hits the ground. Tom Cruise says something along the lines of "just because you stopped it from happening doesn't mean it wouldn't have..." (Not a direct quote) I strongly disagree with this thought process, because while example may prove that millions of times, the ball would have hit the ground, there is always that possible exception waiting to occur. Nothing is known until it is known and even then, there is room for argument.
