So if something is known to have a certain outcome then it is not fate?

NOPE. FOR INSTANCE, YOU RUN A RED LIGHT AND GET HIT, ITS NOT FATE BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE YOU WONT GET HIT.

Not true because it is not unpredictible to say that running a red light will cause an accident. There are simply more outcomes that are possible. It is simply a chance as to which fate you will have but there is always a fate not always a chance. Chance is under the rule of fate and fate is subject to free will.

CHANCE DOESNT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE UNPREDICTABLE.

YOU STATED EARLIER THAT FATE MEANS OUTCOME, SO NOW YOU SAY MANY FATES ARE POSSIBLE. FATE MEANS PREDETERMINED, ONLY ONE AND UNCHANGING.

I have yet to see it defined differently.

Fate is whatever the final outcome is. Regardless of the possibilities whatever happens is fate because it did happen.

DONT GET ME WRONG, IT CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE, THAT HOWEVER DOESNT MEAN IT ALWAYS HAS TO.

FATE DOES MEAN PREDETERMINED, LOOK IT UP.

YOUR FINAL STATEMENTS ARE JUST YOUR BELIEFS, AND ARE NO LONGER OPEN TO ARGUMENT. SINCE YOU SAY FATE IS WHATEVER THE FINAL OUTCOME IS, THEN ANY EXAMPLE I PROPOSE WILL, OBVIOUSLY, ALWAYS HAVE AN OUTCOME, AND ACCORDING TO YOU THEN,ALWAYS MEAN FATE.

By its definition it does.

So chance is subject to its outcome (fate)
