Does Free Will actually exist? Is there a way to tell?

Sure. There would be multiple ways for it to be described. The Bible just uses generalizations, but why wouldn't god be able to explain how he did it?
Godschild Wrote:Yes you're right, God knows without being physically present, I'm not sure how that works being a spirit, whatever that in itself entails.
I do disagree about what sin is if you're applying your definition to all sin. God would never give approval for something that would separate one further from Him.
I don't mean that god is "with you" when you sin, in the sense that he is okay with it. But he would know what you did, wouldn't he? You would not be able to hide from god. So in that sense he is ever-present, in that he would always know.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
