A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will
RE: A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will
Anyway, here is something from an apparently revered scientist on free will.

https://www.sloww.co/free-will-robert-sapolsky/

Note that keep in mind, all the stuff against which I have read about is all evidence. Strictly evidence. Nothing of the sort of actual proof, but just things that might point in the way of free will not existing. Key word, "might".

I don't think I was saying free will doesn't exist for sure, and if I did, that was not intentional. I was just throwing around "what-if" questions about free will itself, and religion.

That said, why do some people here not believe in free will?
