Here is something that was told to me. What do you think?
It is my postulation that the theory of free will has in a very subversive way lead to many current theories that have polluted and corrupted other areas of learning. For instance, the theory of evolution states, or at least it use to (they have since changed their theory from random selection to natural selection), that life came from a completely unguided, random, and mindless process. For the longest time theoretic physicist have maintained that the universe originated from nothing. Notice the common denominator: something from nothing. It is logically incoherent and intellectually dishonest to believe that something comes from nothing. How can it? It breaks all rules of science, biology, and anything less than a sound mind. You didn't come from nothing. Your child did come from nothing, as you may well attest. Scientist now say that the universe had a beginning, or in other words something caused the universes beginning. Evolutionist have since "evolve" their theory from random selection, to natural selection, indicating an underlying scheme in which healthier or more well equipped creatures survived and their counterparts did not. In other words, there is a cause to how and why one creatures survives and why one does not. So why are people still submitting to the theory that our thoughts and actions have no motivations or causes, but are "free" ? If our thoughts indeed came from nothing(not from experience, education, language dictates, etc.) how could any coherent thought be possible? Would not this lead to jumbled, incoherent, disjointed words and sentences. How could you verbally communicate or write a book? If our actions had no causes, this means you could function normally WITHOUT A BRAIN!!! Does any of this make sense? Neither does "will" without a cause and a motivator. To use an old cliché, "nothing is free."
Blessings and love to all,
