It really doesn’t matter if the laws of nature are deterministic or not. Consider the past. At no time did a die come up both two and five, nor did a photon’s wavelength collapse in two places. Why should the future be considered differently? Events in the future will happen one specific certain way – we just can’t know which way until they actually happen. But we don’t have to be able to (even theoretically) predict future events for those future events to still be fixed in a four-dimensional space-time.
