No, it "mustn't be".  Wink

You're still relying on the truth of two fallacious arguments in making that statement - which is, itself, a complete non-sequitur.  

Quote:You might be right here, although I don't think that something that only moves when a force is apllied to it suddenly moves on it's own just because there are more of it.
I'm not sure what you're commenting on.  I'm right about what?  I made no comments to that effect.  

Quote:Also it is true that one particle cannot write this message but more together can, however that doesn't mean they have chosen themselves to do so.
OFC not.  I only commented upon your means of inference, not whether or not our will is free.

You're right on the first one.


I'm referring to what you said: "A particle may not be able to type this message to you.  Obviously, a thing made out of particles can.  That a thing made out of particles can type this message to you, does not imply that any single particle can."
I saw the connection you tried to make between keeping or loosing an ability when being split up, but I didn't agree with your example.
Although I might have misunderstood what you meant there.
It's not really an excuse but I'm having a hard time talking about philosophy in English. I keep trying though.
whatever floats your goat
