If we're wired a certain way, is it possible to be wired to have the ability to choose between a set of standard responses to stimuli?

I'm as confident in predetermination as I am that god doesn't exist.
Neat.

Are you this pedantic about your own god belief?
Well, if someone said that science has proven that god doesn't exist, yes.

What evidence would compel you given that the premise is unfalsifiable on both ends? Is there a way to prove this on a scientific level apart from the aformentioned rewinding time scenario? I largely agree on a philosophical level but haven't taken that to the conclusion that predetermination is absolute.
