Madeleine McCann

Fatalistic point of view:
A fatalist would argue that Madeleine was always going to go missing, her parents were always going to have left her and her brothers alone in that room, on that particular night. The abductors had planned to take her at the exact time she was taken. It was always going to happen in that way.

Deterministic point of view:
A determinist would argue that Madeleine was always going to go missing, it didn't necessarily have to happen in the order, time, place or circumstances that it did. But it was always going to occur.

Predestined point of view:
A believer in predestination would argue that God had planned this to happen right before there was even a past or present. God saw this would happen, and instantly allowed it to happen by making that decision from an overview of above. There is no time and space for God, so he didn't decide that Madeleine would be taken at a particular time or place. Just that she would be taken, it was predestined to happen.
