Fatalism is the idea that everything is fated to happen, resulting in humans having no control over their future. [[Destiny|Fate]] has arbitrary power, and does not necessarily follow any causal or deterministic [[law]]s.<ref name="stanfordincompatibilismarguments" /> Types of fatalism include hard [[theological determinism]] and the idea of [[predestination]], where there is a [[God]] who determines all that humans will do. This may be accomplished through either foreknowledge of their actions, achieved through [[omniscience]]<ref name="Fischer">Fischer, John Martin (1989) ''God, Foreknowledge and Freedom''.
