Consider this.
Momentum is conserved. When a particle (nevermind what that means right now) hits another, it shares momentum. But it never goes away, they just bounce back and forth. So this means that since say, the big bang, quadrillions of particles have just been flying around bouncing into each other. Everything that has ever happened has just been the result of these particles colliding. If you don't consider some sort of soul that mythically comes out of nowhere and re-directs particles (in your brain of course), because energy can't be created of course, this means that even when you think you had a choice, it was predetermined and was going to happen no matter what.
Maybe I explained this badly but it's something interesting I've been thinking about

Well lifeforms must have evolved with the ability to control the particles into there needs. For example, when I get hungry, somewhere inside me, there are particles that were coaxed into making me feel hungry, and then go get food to feed me. The way your saying the particle theory of everything predetermined would just be complete chaos and life would not exist if you really thing about it... I dont know how to explain it well myself, in words atleast, but I have a good idea how it works in my brain.
