If you believe that you where dstined to die at a certain time, then you just said that you dont have a free will. becuase if you have a set time when you are suspose to die, then that means no matter what decision you make, there will be one decision that is already set for you to make. be it something early in your life, or just a moments notice. If you believe that you have a set time to die, then you believe in destiny. Because if there is a end already mapped out for you, then that means that every decision you make is building up to that one instances in time.
contradictions? this subject is very abstract, and a little difficult for me to explain it, sorry if it seems confusing. what other contradictions do you see besides this one?

to clarify tho...i didn't say i believe you are destined to die AT A CERTAIN TIME. you are simply destined to die. i don't see how this fact can be argued...death is unavoidable for all living things. HOW and WHEN you die, however, is determined by free will. does this clear things up?
