 Carneades also wishes to rebut the fatalist argument and deny that what will occur is  inevitable.[1]  Unlike Aristotle and Epicurus, however, he does not reject the Principle of Bivalence, and he says that whenever you have a pair of contradictory statements, such as “Tim O’Keefe will die from cancer” and “Tim O’Keefe will not die from cancer”, one is true and the other false (Fat. 37, LS 20H). Instead of rejecting PB, he thinks the fatalist argument goes wrong when it assumes that if it is true from eternity that an event will occur, then that event is necessary. That is because both Epicurus and Stoics are wrong to believe that the principle of bivalence and causal determinism are interentailing. The truth of a statement does not imply that there are “immutable eternal causes” that make it true (Fat. 28, LS 70G). Instead, it is simply the fact that things will turn out as the statement says they will that makes it true.
