Life is predetermined. Therefore the score is predetermined. ;)

Well if you subscribe to a newtonian way of thinking then even the hardware failures and glitches are predictable, which means that the score is completely and utterly predetermined.

As for a true random number generator, there is no such thing ;)
You could perhaps come up with some argument about using a detector to detect radiation particles emitted during decay of an atom, but that is only something we don't know how to predict yet ;)

Quantum physics. Welcome to the 20th century.

Just wait til the 25th century and you'll get a new type of phyics that will explain why quantum physics has got more holes than swiss cheese.

By that time, we'll both be dead and we can't laugh at who was wrong. So either prove them wrong now or accept 'em (for now).

Well name a particluar theory or attribute of quantum physics and I'll prove it wrong :P

And there is no gaurantee we will both be dead :P Maybe they find a way to stop aging and we are lucky enough to not be murdered. Or we figure out a way to travel forward in time ;) Or someone from the future travels back in time and explains everything ;)

If somebody makes a car (or something else that can fly or run) that can run faster than the speed of 3*10^8 m/s, then logically speaking, that person can see the future :P

err....how? I agree they can see the past, but travelling faster than the speed of light doesn't let you see the future.

Let's get back on topic or let's get closed. Proven.

No, you're in the future, so it lets you see what's going to happen. But anyway, yes perhaps we can close this or talk about this logic somewhere else :P
