Dictionary term Fatalism, doctrine that all events occur according to a fixed and inevitable destiny that individual will neither controls nor affects. Fatalism frequently is confused with determinism, the doctrine that events are determined by the events that precede them. According to fatalism, preceding events have no causal connection with the events that follow. A fated event takes place not according to a natural law but in accordance with some mysterious decree issued by some mysterious power, perhaps ages before. Determinism, in its tenet that every event has its determining conditions in its immediate antecedents, which may include the human will, is consistent with a belief in the efficacy of the human will, but fatalism is not. Both fatalism and determinism, thus distinguished from each other, should likewise be distinguished from predestination. Predestination is determination plus the belief in a supernatural power that has established a determining natural sequence of causes. Fatalism is a belief in a supernatural power that predetermines without recourse to natural order.

Interesting...
If by then saying GOD has a plan for us all, is it then true to say GOD has a Fatalistic plan for us all in his grand plan?
Or maybe GOD wants the deterministic history to repeat itself that way he doesn't have to create new interesting patterns, he just leaves history on "REPEAT". lol ;D
