Again... something about prediction and evolution

Knowing everything would be a difficult task. But guessing something as certain thing would be the resultant of particular task or of a chain of tasks is theoretically possible. Defining 100% of the exact world shape exactly at 9am tomorrow would be impossible task. But guessing what would be the result if someone behaves in certain way is possible task.
Assume a world with limited people, say seven members, with their duties decided for valuable life and they achieved 100% predictability for their environment for about 100 years. They also know about their successors and they even know their death dates. If they further know about their afterlife… then…
What exactly is there for them to worry about?
They are professionals in living life. They live life with high precision. Their lives would have defined at each and every second. Then what is the difference between them and machines?
Is it in that way?
It can’t be. Humans may not face that situation at any point in their evolution. Even at that level they may face uncertainties in guessing higher level cause-effect relations. By that time they may have to think off the future of entire humanity or the then the important aspect.
