Since cause and effect creates a new cause and effect, isn't everything one big effect cause by the big bang?

and does't that mean the future is determined and has been since the beginning 13.7 billion years ago.

Since I wouldn't be hear if it wasn't for something causing me and something had to cause that something which was cause by something else, essentially everything can be traced back to the big bang 13.7 billion years ago. And time moved in a liner direction in order to get to this point right, right now, Is it safe to so that time will more linearly as well in the future, meaning that the future is already determined. If you disagree with this then, what you are saying is what you do 2mro, had nothing to do with what you do today, or a week ago or a month ago and that 2mro is just random and has no direct relationship to now and/or your past.

Another way to look at is through particles. Every particle had to come from somewhere, which came from somewhere which came from the big bang. And every particle had properties that fit in with the laws of physics (some properties we may know about some we may not since Quantum is still very unpredictable) these particles fellow these laws in the same way a projectile fellows gravity and the other laws of physics. Now imagine, hypothetically calculating every particle in the universe at this very moment. Since this particle fellow set laws similar to how a projectile does, we should be able to predict what is going to happen next, just by knowing their properties and the laws of physics that they fellow. We can then do this again and again and again, hence predicting the future.
