There used to be a good reason to believe in determinism. Namely the great success of Newtonian physics in describing the world in a completely deterministic way. At the time it could have been reasonable to think that we would eventually arrive at a complete, deterministic description of the whole universe, therefore determinism seemed more likely to be true.
But now, with our knowledge of quantum mechanics, which eliminates all hope of verifying determinism by means of laws of physics, I am indeed not aware of any rational reasons to keep believing in determinism.
Perhaps you have one? Feel free to share.
