View submission: The difference between causality and determinism
Is this the most circular argument in the most bad faith way?
You are concluding your own premise. It's one of the most basic fallacies around. You are telling everyone it can only be deterministic or it has to be random. This is a strawman fallacy where you are describing the method of the point of determination as random. No one even knows if true randomness exists!
Let's go smart ass, how was the big bang created, was it deterministic or random? How can a random event happen from nothing?
How can a deterministic event happen from a random event? Let's see how smart or bad faith you actually are.

Let's go smart ass,
There is no need for name calling. It does not strengthen your argument. A discussion about a philosophical topic such as free will requires participants to engage in ... discussion. Getting offended and lashing out is often the result of being on shaky ground to begin with. I am leaving your comment up because I think it's your right as a person to be an asshole, but do reconsider your approach to intellectual discussions.
You always have the option to disengage at any point.

Thank you for pointing out the circularity! They can make an argument about randomness without being circular but they can't do so by presupposing randomness in the argument which is supposed to prove randomness!

how was the big bang created
Nobody knows.
was it deterministic or random?
Nobody knows.
How can a random event happen from nothing?
I don't believe randomness exists
How can a deterministic event happen from a random event?
A deterministic event cannot simultaneously be random
