I agree, one you remove time as a constraint on the system, causality is moot anyways.
But that’s my point about determinism, once you really remove time as a constraint, determinism is not wrong, it’s meaningless, it only has meaning inside a time arrow.
There is still a totally incomprehensible aspect that is the hypostatic union of timeless “eternity” and man’s timely existence in a single person, but I’m fine with it being a mystery that is inaccessible to human understanding because it looks more and more like everything else we assumed was comprehensible is actually in the same general class.
I wouldn’t say that it makes more rational sense than the theist’s infinitely remote creator, but it does feel more congruent with how reality seems to function, there is a feeling of “oh yeah, I’ve met this paradox before, it’s a friendly paradox” ^^
