Free will

[Shadow_Man]

Rhythm,

Did your evidence consist of anything -more- than the equivocation of choice and free will?  What more needs be said?

Interesting question.

Foreknowledge precludes freewill in that nothing else -can- happen, but that which said foreknowledge describes, or else it isn't foreknowledge at all.  No choice can be made, no diverging paths of decision. One stream, one outcome, one conclusion, no deviation.

In my version of choice or free will there is at least the possibility that you could choose a - or- b.  This is not the case, in the case of a true claim to foreknowledge.  It's just a, or just b..whichever is described by the subject with foreknowledge.

When I speak of free will, I am speaking of our ability to make up our own minds and make our own choices within our ability to enact them.

From the very start of this thread we have both presented Free Will and choice as basically synonymous. If you wish to now represent them otherwise, then I personally do indeed need a bit more to be said than just a sound byte declaring that to be an equivocation. Please clarify/explain.

While you are at it, I wouldn't mind a reply to post #202.

Regards,
