The free will argument demonstrates that christians don't understand free will.

Of all the dreams you have and the places and people you encounter, you're bound to eventually encounter something that resemble something from one of your dreams. A true test would be to notice the similarity immediately, then predict what's coming next (that wouldn't make a bad suspense thriller).

That's exactly what happens. I become aware part way through the scene.

I'm not talking 'similar' scenes. I'm talking detailed re enactments. All the actors, scenery, lighting, smoke effects .

If anyone agrees with me or knows what I'm talking about, I wouldn't mind having it explained better, cause I'm shit at it.
I'll go do some research and see if I can find a better interpretation, like from an actual scientist.

Yep I'm with you. You're describing a mechanistic universe. Nothing happens that doesn't follow a set pattern that we have to follow. Every choice is us following what we always had to chose. Other things and people can influence our actions, but even our most arbitrary of choices are the end result of a series of mechanical steps. Perhaps one of our resident philosophers can help identify the idea for us.
