It's a unitary map, it will evolve the past state into a superposition
of many different states. One may argue that this is meaningless, as one
has to choose a basis. But this is essentially what time evolution
operator does for you. If you work in a particular basis then applying
the time evolution operator amounts to changing that basis into another
basis without affecting the state of the system in any way.

Why do you think the evolution is deterministic of our part of

our conscious experience of the present state was also present in the
early universe in a nonlocal way where there would be no obvious sign
of us existing at all.

I think the idea is a bit silly because I don't see any way to prove
or disprove it even in theory. And in the entire universe the only
thing that I know with absolute certainty is sentient is the 3
pounds of gray goo inside a bone vat that is sitting on my
shoulders.
