OK...so you've rehashed the plot of Knowing. Assuming you aren't also invoking everything else about that movie, why would predestination equate to divinity? Why does an event's inevitability necessarily mean it was consciously and deliberately planned?
In short, why would this have any effect upon your belief state, whether that be belief or non-belief?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
