Science has now proved predestination
No, it is a case of once something is it always will be. The past is set in concrete, not the future.

Science has now proved predestination... but there's still no god. No you science-hating luddite idiot. This is a hypothesis, not a theory tested by experiments. Furthurmore it concerns the past and the present saying nothing about what will happen in the future.

Science has now proved predestination... but there's still no god. Actually, Kurt Godel, a brilliant logician with a philosophical bent, in addition to producing a closed time-loop interpretation of relativity, provided an upgraded and stronger version of the famous Ontological Proof for the existence of God.

In my purely amateurish understanding of how this theory works, you have a nearly limitless set of options to choose
from this moment forward - but once you've made that choice, there's no going back. To my understanding, that doesn't qualify as predestination. Postdestination perhaps?
FWIW, wasn't there an episode that dealt with this issue in Star Trek: Next Generation?
