Why I don't believe in 'free will'
#57
RE: Why I don't believe in 'free will'
Just like that though, here I have been told there can't be evidence of free will will. But there can be reasons. I ask what reasons, and it seems I'm not given anything but the same circular argument and or changes back and forth to other definitions of 'free will' that are completely different and even I don't reject.

My reason for accepting the notion of free will is simply that I 'appear' to experience it. So therefore I accept it and would require evidence of some kind to think otherwise.

This is quite different from God. With this the default position is not to accept it as there is no reason to think otherwise. Unlike free will, we don't have sense of God within us do we?

Of course, it may be that you are different in that you don't sense anything akin to free will, but I do and so do all the people I have spoken to about it, whether they actually think it real or not.
