(July 11, 2013 at 8:35 am)Zen Badger Wrote: Maybe I'm not making myself clear......

In order for YOU to prove that determinism is true, YOU need to be able to make 100% accurate predictions. Until these conditions are met determinism is only a hypothesis. This is known as "science".

At no point have I suggested that determinism requires sentient beings to function.

No. You very much didn't make yourself clear. I certainly wasn't aware that I was (for some reason) being expected to prove determinism to be true. As with evolution, it is the most likely situation... given all available evidence.

You think otherwise. You also haven't proven that position. But I guess that I'm the bad guy for being the only one that needs proof.
