Causal Determinism




This idea goes hand in hand with Materialism . Scientists and skeptics may implicitly favour causal determinism because it does not allow for any Supernatural explanations of reality.

As Pierre-Simon Laplace noted around 1814 , such a theory would also grant a sufficiently powerful being the ability to determine any future state of the universe, thus making the future as readily accessible as the past (at least from that powerful being's frame of reference).
