Everything that's happening right now, has happened before and will happen in the future is the decision of God. Man brings his own fortune or his own disaster by his deeds, but behind every tragedies there is much to learn.
So, if you had the chance, a chance you are not sure is accepted by God as the right choice, would you interfere in your future or mingle with your past?

MC: Was it so important to exploit my question like that? I mean, c'mon on! I can't start writing a story just for presenting a question!
Anyway, remember that I said "God", so there are two things working here:
1. This question is meant for theists.
2. By saying just God, I assume people will think of their respective concept of God, not the God I have my faith on.
Yes, I know that the chance of changing the past or future is withing the original script, but what if God gave you the chance to do so as a test, and you must make your choice by your own thinking and understanding? I was referring to that situation when I wrote that sentence you talked about.
By the way, you're intelligent.

I used to think I would, if I had the chance.
But now that I have my son, and realize what a million-to-one chance it was that he was even born, I know that everything needed to happen exactly as it did in order for him to have been brought into this world; and I wouldn't tamper with that for anything...

I very much disagree about how you positioned this question because it assumes that we all agree that your God has everything scripted and that all we are are mindless puppets in the theater of your deity. Nuhuh.
I strongly believe that the only things that are predestined are our birth (duh) and our death, not the manner in which we die but the when. That being said, I wouldn't mess with anything in my past that would have direct influence on my present because it means I would be a different person.The future is so nebulous and NOT fixed that it wouldn't matter. What matters is how I live my present, learn from my past to make a future my children and myself will be proud of. Oh and by making the choices we do in our present, we are already interfering with our future... though, can we interfere with something that is not written...?
Also, if you were able to change things in your past or in your future, in the limitations of your script, your God would have made it part of the story he decided for you so, realistically, you would still be enacting the story he is directing. And, since your God has already decided what will happen to you, etc, there is no notion of choice in that scenario so by saying: "a chance you are not sure is accepted by God as the right choice" you technically don't have a choice.

if this exchange top right into a suited international and that adjust top into accessible?? identity could desire to prefer to declare although that I wouldnt replace something. I wouldnt be the guy i replace into on the instant.. i wouldnt understand the subject concerns i understand on the instant.. i does no longer do it. and it doesnt seem that stunning once you have considered th action image "the butterfly result". It replace top into an particularly stable action image starring ashton kutcher, and its all approximately th chaos concept... how some ingredient as small with the aid of actuality the flap of a butterflys wing can finally reason a hurricane on the different component to the international. If u did bypass returned and adjust some ingredient, you wouldnt return to the comparable international, or have th comparable place of existance.

No.
Even though you did something bad in the past, learn from it.
We may take a step back, but time never does. It moves forward no matter what happens.
I learn from the past in the present to prepare for the future.

well, with the supposition that God will not accept anything deemed harmful than I believe it would be okay for me to change things that fall into that "innocent' category and yes I would change lots of things
*example - I wouldn't moved into the "other" apartment if I knew beforehand my neighbors were night owls....

I would not try to change my past. Every mistake and every bad time I have had has made me into the person I am today. I love me.

Your future would not be the same if you changed the past.

I would go back and not let ppl influence me in bad ways, like when I was in high school, and not let people bully me

well it is very tempting but if it would be sinful then no I wouldn't. Unless I found out it wouldn't be wrong.
