<font color="blue"> Our theory only needs to capture a causal link back to an event that we all agree he could not have had any choice over, </font>

But it seems to me this "theory" has to go considerably further than this... It not only has to go back and capture a causal link to an event the agent had no control over, but it now has to correlate proofs and predictions on how this event affects everything from the synapses and neurons inside the agent's brain, to his motor skills, in order to bring about one and ONLY one possible event, no?

btw- You use the term "theory". Is determinism really a scientific theory? That's pretty strong and means I should be studying rather than questioning it.
