From my perspective, Determinism is really no different from Solipsism as a means of viewing the universe.

Both claims are unverifiable, and both rely on a particular set of arbitrary premises. Of course, if I put it that way, just about any metaphysical position would also apply, and that's exactly what I'm getting at. It all boils down to personal preference for a particular theory if it's better or not. There is no better or worse. Arguments can only be held when both parties have a set of shared concepts to discuss on equal terms, but when it comes to metaphysics, I'm afraid that there no limit to how reality can be deconstructed.
