I dont think he is on the attack. Rather I think he is asking us to reflect on a rhetorical question. He is playing Devil's Advocate as such.

Anyway in a nutshell. This question of pre determination is an age old philosophical teaser. Have we free will in fact?

In my opinion it doesnt matter what the 'truth' is: because we will never know the answer. The bottom line is, go out and live your life to the best you can, and leave such things to the philosophers.
