Fate and Destiny: a philosophy thread

I don't believe there is free will. So in the sense that everthing reduces to basic chemical and physical reactions then fate and destiny exist.

That said, the chemical and physical reactions interact on such an immense scale, with built in elements of uncertainty that the ultimate result is completely unknowable.

Also, in the sense that "fate" and "destiny" suggest a plan or puprose, there is no such.
