If the physical laws of the universe are deterministic, then yes, there is a destiny and absolutely everything that happens was "supposed" to happen.
Even though if we know that the physical laws are deterministic and if we can (and know how to) represent the current state of the universe it can still be the case that destiny does not exists. Laws being deterministic means that if you apply this law with this input then you get this output. Do it hundred times the same then you get the same output. But still there is the choice of will (as you have rightly mentioned). I still have the right to choose whether to do something or not

But what I do know is, from many experiences, that starting your post off with an attack, no matter how light hearted, and certainly when its only your 5th post, will win you no supporters. Believe me.
Sorry that you took so badly... My intention was to make you reflect as Stephen has rightly mentioned!
