As far as Sharkull's original question "Do you believe that fate (destiny) and free will can co-exist"

I do believe that it is possible, if you believe in the existence of a Omnipresent, Omniscient God (I do though I'm not asking you to). If there is a God which exists everywhere and every time at once, then He would be able to know what we were going to choose (that He knows our 'Destiny') and yet we at the specific place in time we exist at, would not have made that choice yet, giving us free will. We will be the ones to make the choice, God just already knows what choice we are going to make. So prophecy is possible if God chooses to grant a individual a look into the future by letting him know what choices will be made.

So yes I do BELIEVE that both are possible, and while I'm on this note, I do not want to turn this into a philosophical debate, if you want to do that start another topic which I will happily ignore. I find arguing philosophy to often be both pointless and frustrating as usually both parties are too stubborn to look at the other person's point of view, (not saying you guys would be that way) so I generally try to avoid debates about it, especially on the internet.

EDIT: I was working on my response in Word, and didn't realize that Wyv had already posted a question, so sorry that my post isn't on topic. Normally I would answer his question but as I don't really have any thoughts on the subject, I'll leave it be and let the next Quantum Physic's Graduate Student (not even sure if there is such a thing :)) try their hand at it.
