Why I don't believe in 'free will'

RE: Why I don't believe in 'free will'

Quote:At the moment I'm sitting here wondering if I should have either ravioli or steak for dinner.

The following statements are based upon belief and not evidence

When I do eventually make a decision it will be my choice and no-one else's.

How so?

Who's decision is it then? I say it's my choice because I can't see how it can be anyone else's.

Quote:
Quote:I have complete freedom to choose either one or the other or in fact, something else.

Once again - How so? (see above response for more detail).

Quote:End of contentious statements

Basically it all boils down to the fact that I believe that free will exists and as you rightly say I have no evidence for this.

On the other hand you believe that free will is simply an illusion but you have no evidence for this either.

It seems to me that free will exists based on my own experience of life. Experience is the only evidence I have and it seems strange that someone could argue so passionately against any degree of free will.

I'm going to start another thread for which there is no evidence and see where it goes.
