eli5 Eternalism vs determinism

451 views

I’m trying to wrap my head around these concepts and it seems like they are basically one in the same.

If all points in time exist at once, this implies determinism?

If the universe is deterministic, that implies all “choices” are already made and so all moments in time already exist?

I think determinism focuses more on the succession of events than eternalism does. In eternalism, all points in time can exist equally, but does that necessarily mean they’re determined yet?
