I don't always know if I understand myself. Lol. I think that for all of us that places limitations on limitless free will. Morley had asked earlier what percentage of our lives is operative/controlled by free will. I felt like shrink wrapping it to a percentage is kind of hard to do. So many diffe...

This is interesting. Some won’t like this but I plugged your statement into Pi A.I.. Here’s what I got: Someone else here with more knowledge and expertise than me might be able to elaborate on Laplace’s Demon but to me it looks like the “hypothetical being” could be referred to as God. In and thro...

Within a system their is an element of free will in that frame of reference if you will. But to an observer outside of that system, the free will isn't there because you can see the outside elements that come into play.. This is interesting. Some won’t like this but I plugged your statement into Pi...

There is this presumption that yours is the better way when your proof is lacking and has as its basis feelings, not facts and analysis. Then you push it on everyone, like your selling something, just like a missionary would do. I disagree with your analysis and conclusion. In this thread as it has...

Of course I’m going to answer your questions. And I would expect you to do the same. After all, this is a discussion board. 🙂 But we don’t have to lower ourselves in the way we treat each other. We can exercise our free will to do better. Regards, MG Your last couple of responses to Morely are amon...

…you indicated that your responses were an answer to my questions and then prodded me to respond to your A.I. copy and pastes. Of course I’m going to answer your questions.

Do people have free will in how they respond to criticism or a bit of raillery? Or are they programmed into predictable responses? A fellow I know compulsively sorts everyone online into either believers in a 'creator God,' or hopelessly nihilistic atheists. This same fellow has a seeming inability...

One more thing to consider though is that times, cultures and civilisations change. Our limitations may be very very different to those in biblical times. Perhaps a long time ago, before laws, before police enforcement, judges, kings, expectations, 9-5 jobs... Before all of the excuses we feel and ...
