I very much do. It means that given the same inputs to a system, you can expect the same output. I believe that to be one hundred percent the incontrovertible reality of life. The problem is it is not a testable theory, because the input includes the state of the system prior the new input. You can never recover that information, so there is no way to put it through and see if you will get that same output. Spacetime coordinates and the position of the cosmos themselves are all variables in this deterministic function, but it’s still deterministic.

OK, that’s great. So if I understand you correctly, it seems like you’re admitting that not only do you have no empirical evidence for your position, you don’t believe you’ll ever be able to test it. This seems like a weak position to hold, almost akin to a faith-based religious position.
