You sound like those pre-computer guys who used to claim we wouldn't be
able to predict stuff that is regularly predicted today.

but my point is that the lack of computing power doesn't mean future events
are not certain, that the outcome has not already been decided. It just
means we aren't smart enough to know what that outcome will be.
