Free will and destiny

Those of you who have worked on Linux/Unix will know it.
Destiny and free will can be compared to the structure of the Unix commands.
When you are handed a set of circumstances (say by destiny), it 's like working in the framework of a command. The super programmer has written the various binaries for them. And there are switches to modify their behaviours.A particular person can do so much with one command (using the various switches, or creating some of their own; so using the switches is like exercising your free will) while some others might be using it for the bare minimum. The framework is same. The tools available to both are same. No doubt , two fellows make totally different things out of the same situation (depending on how they exercise their freedom of choice, the switches, their free will.
Because they have understood the framework, the laws well, the command , the various options and switches well.
So, is it about knowledge and understanding?
May be.
When you understand a law, the logic, you can even work around it, you can use it.
It 's like when you understand gravity and aerodynamics, you can make a plane to defy gravity.
So, are we here for knowledge?
To become God like through knowledge?
Does it happen that you can actually reach a level where you can add new switches, modify the binaries?
Unix is an open source OS after all.
So, does God allow Unix(open source) like behaviour here or tends to follow the proprietary model of Windows(or viceversa)?
Explore, know , and harness.
