This may be too simplistic an answer, since I haven't read Craig's actual argument, but I think one would have to redefine fatalism in order to say that it's the same as Calvinism. Fatalism sees the ordering of destiny as the product of meaningless "fate" (whatever that is). Calvinism does teach that all things are ordained by God, but God is not an impersonal force and he directs events with a defined purpose in mind.
