Why Atheism is Incoherent & You Aren't as Smart as You Think You Are

[brewer]

So your position is that nature is deterministic in the context of life forms/living things?

You still have not identified a source of "will". So far all you've presented is supposition.

Don't break this one, not quite yet.

No, nature is deterministic overall. This is true whether we are talking about natural selection or the orbit of planets.

I am saying that if nature is deterministic, then it can be said to have purpose, one probably unknowable to us, but purpose and meaning nonetheless. Where there is purpose there is will.

What is deterministic about a vacuum? Or entropy?

Nature just is. If you want to look at the results of nature find purpose that's fine by me, but I'll never be convinced by belief alone.
