Predestination, in theology, is the doctrine that all events have been willed by God, usually with reference to the eventual fate of the individual soul. Explanations of predestination often seek to address the paradox of free will, whereby God's omniscience seems incompatible with human free will. In this usage, predestination can be regarded as a form of religious determinism; and usually predeterminism, also known as theological determinism.
Predestination is the religious belief that God has already determined all events, including what will happen to each person's soul. This doctrine raises a fundamental question about how human free will can exist if God already knows and has willed everything that will occur.
