Good question!
Even in the books (particularly The Sil) it says something like only Iluvatar knew. He had given them strange gifts - perhaps its similar to the real world (maybe it was a subject pondered by JRRT). Men shape their own destiny, even if there was a path that they should walk upon.
Who really knows?
