ASSUMING the universe started w a bing bang

There is no such thing as freewill. We and everything around us that is happening, has happened, and will happen had already been predetermined when the first atoms were created and bumped against each other in the early stages after the big bang; or possibly before that.
Don't you think that had not the the "hydrogen atom that collided against the helium atom 13 billion years ago" would not had resulted into creating something as big as our galaxy? Our solar system? Our planet? The climate that created an environment suitable for the first amino acids? Our birth and brain cells. Our thoughts and actions?
Don't you see everything as a colliding row of dominoes sometimes?
I think everything is "already set in stone". Like a student figuring out the answer to a perfectly elastic collision problem. The correct answer had already existsted WAY before he began to answer the question...

In the culture where I am from, we are secular and have contrasting tastes and styles - but we all share the same set of morals i.e. we all share the same idea as to what is right and wrong. But in Western culture you have different and completely contrasting morals - i.e. if a liberal believes something is correct, the conservative screams that he/she is wrong & vice versa.

For example, a guy said he is going to the bar a\with two women - the answerers responded t him saying he has to behave respectfully and not try to have sex with them. But when I asked a question saying it is wrong for a man to pick up women from the bar & have sex with them, then the answerers flamed me for being a religious bigot & many said I am jealous of the two women and that I wished I were in their place.

Why is it like that? Whom should I believe is correct here? Whom should I listen to? Why people have completely contrasting morals on what is right and what is wrong?

If you could rewind back to when you were first born (has to be all the way) and start over knowing everything you know now, would you?

Which one do you believe and why?
Statement One:
"To be happy with yourself is to be loved by another."

Statement Two:
"You must be happy with yourself and love yourself before you can truly know, love, and be happy with another."

Not the philosophical question, but what do you live for? Do you live to help others, love someone, raise children, make art? Join a religon? Besides waking up, going to work, watching tv, eating, having sex, and sleeping, what do you live for?

No ridiculous answers please.
I'm talking about your outlook in life.
Metaphorically speaking... some people see the same glass but see it differently.

The outrage we feel against evil acts - hijackers steering jets into buildings full of people, kidnappers abusing and killing young children, the list can go on and on - Does this point tp a built in sense that something is desperately wrong. If there is such a thing as evil ... Doesn't it offer a backhand proof of God's existence?
