do we live in a completely deterministic universe without feeling it?

Big Bang Words and Music by puppeteer C)2021
Ever since space banged it big
Was existence set?
From shameful wearing of the fig
To each fated shameless beget?
From the day I knocked, then ran, and you guessed
Who had left all that food in the bag,
And you let me play with your girlie breasts
Until the day they sagged.
Was every moment set in stone
While I pretended to choose
To be in love or be alone
To find a mate, or be late and lose?
From the universe's brilliant birth
Were all the moments fixed
For every human on the earth,
And every scored goal kicked?
When the bully white supremacists
Threw me into the moat
Jealous of how well the Jews persist
And the Jews' superior jokes (just joking)?
Everything I've ever seen,
Ever felt, or thought,
Everyone that's ever been,
That I've let go or caught?
Every joy and every pain,
Every curry I've sought,
Every bike ride in the rain,
Every fancy shirt I've bought?
Every war and early death,
Every great discovery
By scientists in their last breath
That set the ignorant free?
Every wish, and gratitude,
Forgiveness and selfless acts,
Stupid folks and platitudes,
Politics and doctored facts?
Pseudoscience, ideologies,
Dictators, and TV news,
Overzealous militaries
Ads that try to shape your views?
Jellyfish and dragonflies,
Horses, wolves, panthers,
Wings of hawk-moths paint the skies,
And lands of moss, electric antlers?
Waves that crash against your calves,
Winds that blow your mane,
Wrinkle nose and the small boy laughs
Then even louder as he overturns the train?
