RE: Determinism
July 21, 2009 at 6:35 pm
I myself know of...zero evidence for free will either way, whether the universe is determined or not.

I know of the notion that Quantum Mechanics supports indeterminacy, but indetermined doesn't=free choice. Maybe more free as in, not fixed but choosing which way this indeterminacy goes, I know of no evidence for that. So I don't believe in free will either way.

So as far as I'm concerned we're just highly complex biological robots Big Grin, that are moved along by the mechanics of the universe - and we're also part of the universe of course - whether it's determined or not.

P.S: One of my favorite topics Tongue
