No, it is a case of once something is – it always will be. The past is set in concrete, not the future.

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.

In your case, perhaps that's what God wants you to believe.

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. Kurt Godel's Ontological Proof

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?
