That's not how predetermination works. Just because there is an explosion does not mean that every particle has a preset location it must reach to enact a grander outcome of the combustion. Atheists don't suffer from a need to have decisions rendered by an omnipotent being or a universe that is some stand-in for that being. There is no grand plan. The Big Bang was not some kick off for a well thought out schematic.

I never meant to imply it was. I was simply stating that with a hyper advanced understanding of chemistry it's possible that everything in the universe could have been predicted up to this point by an infinitely well programmed/powerful computer or whatever. Because in my head, that's theoretically possible, it's also possible everything is predetermined, not by some grand scheme or designs, but just predetermined by random chance.

Apologies if I'm using the incorrect phrasing.
