Well, it isn't "knows OR determines". Knowing, in and of itself, does not determine anything. I may "know" that my daughter will choose vanilla ice cream rather than chocolate, but knowing did not determine her decision.
So, it acknowledges determinism, but denies that things are pre-determined.
Methinks there is a problem here. If it isn't the knowledge that determines something , then what? What DETERMINES the outcomes?
If you do not believe in God, Natural Law and the nature of our existence determine the ultimate outcome of everything, but the fractal nature of our world provides the diversity and variation of individual events withing the constraints of Natural Law.
