"Marcar" can be used a synonym of "determinar" or "fijar". While "marcar" literally means to put a mark, languages make extensive use of metaphors. Think of the English "set in stone": there is no stone anywhere, really -you are just "marking" the destiny on a stone.

Thanks Lazarus. Carved in stone or cast in concrete perhaps? - MattM, Nov 9, 2010
