To really put things in perspective, on a larger scale this means that from the moment you are born the way you will end up living your entire life is known, and therefore destined. So try as you might, if you are destined to be a hobo you will end up as a hobo. Though you may desire to become a doctor or a layer, the sequence of decisions that you will make which will lead you to becoming a hobo is already known by God, who is omniscient, so it simply must happen. This shows that though there seems to be a choice on the surface, if one is to believe the text of the Bible then there really is no choice in the matter of their destiny. When literally interpreting the Bible, there is absolutely no compromise between believing in God's omniscience and believing in free will. One must either give up their particular interpretation of the Bible or give up their beliefs about predestination.
Some scientists believe that as much as 40% of personality traits can be attributed to life experiences (Fujita). This staggering influence may cause some people to question whether their decisions are based on their free will or the environment they have lived in most of their life. Are people just puppets living out the destiny beget to them by how they were raised? Does true free will really exist in this world? Once again, the argument becomes deeply philosophical. It is easy to simply say that because of the vast influence of environment on one's actions, decisions are not being carried out by "you" but by your experiences. Now the question that needs to be answered is what exactly defines self ("you"). Self without the addition of personality and preference through learning experiences throughout years of living would be nothing. Just as a ball of clay can be shaped by a sculptor into anything, one's environment is what turns them from a nearly mindless ball of clay into a personalized figure with likes and dislikes.
