Why would a perfect being make an imperfect world?
#76
RE: Why would a perfect being make an imperfect world?
My world view wouldn't unravel if I thought free-will was real, as I have nothing dependent on it. If there were evidence of it (and there are plenty of arguments against mind/brain duality, such as the fact the the mind is ALWAYS damaged if the brain is damaged, therefore there is no duality), I would accept it. It would really change nothing for me, because it would still be explained by evidence. I have no other major beliefs that are dependent on it. I spent the majority of my life thinking free will is real, after all. I'm not really different now, except I accept this very difficult truth.

Unlike some others, who actually have their entire faith in God apparently hanging in the balance of a single concept. Again project much? lol. But eve tough your current argument for God rests on the notion of free-will, I honestly don't think it would unravel your worldviews, either. I suppose you would fit God into your new paradigm, because that is what people do. To suggest that you think my whole worldview would "unravel" with one idea changed suggests you have very little understanding of how the human mind actually works.
