Sure, but now you have to make a bunch of assumptions about things we can't test or observe to keep the universe consistent with determinism. It's not impossible that the universe is predetermined, but there's just no reason to believe it is. You're making more of an aesthetic argument than a scientific one.
It wasnt really an argument at all, except for the part that randomness isnt incompatible with determinism. I dont have a proper scientific reason for suspecting the future already exists, it just feels somehow "simpler" since it doesnt require assuming that the time dimension is somehow particularly different from space dimensions.
