I think Chaos Theory, Genetics, Cosmology etc are really amazing subjects to discover some more about how the world works.
I didn't say that Genetics play no role. I think our genes represent a blueprint of the most likely outcomes. It is not 100% guaranteed that we will outpicture what is in our genes.
For example, if both parents died of cancer. Precluding smoking, living next to power lines etc it is likely that you will develop cancer at some point. However even if you carry that particular mutated gene it is not an absolute certain death sentence that you will die of cancer.
You can make changes in your lifestyle to improve your health, think positive, try new drugs etc that could greatly reduce or even eliminate that MOST LIKELY possibility.
