Do We Have Free Will?

Yet not all of today’s “science” is based on the scientific method, but based on political gain.

Philosophy is not a science; science is a philosophy. This, it’s absolutely possible for philosophy to not be based on science.

 

Where did I tell people to believe in what I do?

 

But, I forgot to say this: it’s people’s jobs on their own to seek out their answers and their beliefs. How do they feel?

It’s much like a judge in a courtroom. The judge wasn’t at the scene himself/herself, but they’re able to analyse information given by both sides (whether hard evidence or witness accounts) to come up with a final verdict of what they believe.

Determining beliefs should be the same way. It’s my job to provide what I believe, but overall, it’s the person’s obligation to analyse and choose what they believe.

 

The Big Bang Theory actually goes against the scientific method.

The scientific method calls for independence, falsifiability, repetition and representativeness. The Big Bang does not meet points 2, 3 or 4.

 

I don’t mean to detract from your argument either, but this is also a “proven fact” to many in the science community. But, at this stage, without those elements of the scientific method holding true, this sort of “science” becomes more of a religion itself.

It doesn’t mean it’s false or untrue, but it also means we cannot prove it enough to call it factual science.

 

My argument that science can be a religion in and of itself? I don’t see how it doesn’t help, but okay.

This either shows little understanding of religious life, or viewing it as a stereotype. I’ve had many skepticisms and questionings that I’ve had, but through my ponderings and meditations, I was able to see a bigger picture of why such things are in place.

 

No, not if you believe in the very basics of at least Christianity: prayer, scripture and the Holy Spirit. With faith in those three primary things, we may know the truth for ourselves. Those are tools available to those who seek them. Every other doctrine is built upon those, and those tools can be utilised to confirm such doctrine.

 

Hello guys i am new here, But this question is so old for me as i have studied this topic deeply.

Thier is a difference between choice and free will...

Choice s are when we are offered two different things to chooce one of them
As good or evil
Right or levil
And we are left with options to choose to
Watch porn or watch somthing inspiring or study or prepare for tommorow and so on
And we have to choose from one of them.

And free will means that we can do what ever we want to do we can... that also include if we will to live for 1000 years we can..
And we know thats impossible.

So,that means we dont actually have free will we are left with choices in this world to choose from??

Now we should also know what is predestiny?

And yes thier is predestiny.
But have we ever wondered what is predestiny??

Predestiny who wrote it?
Does this effects on my life?
Does this effect my decisions?
And lot more

So, to understand it first we have to recognise who wrote it.

It is written by one and only god..

And god knows every thing he know you better than you the one who created you.

And he have the knowledge of future.

So he knows that what choices are u gonna make?

Predestiny does not effect u any how ?

If you start changing ur self know than god knew this , that at this point of life u r going start changing and he wrote it.

That predestiny only things u r going to is written in it?

And i will conclude this with one example

A teacher knows his students and how they study.
So if the teacher say that one student is going to very good grades and another will fail.

And then happens the same.
But teacher knew this lot before because she knew how the studends study

So know can that student say i fail in exam because the teacher said, no because the student didnt study.

That similar to predestination.

 

Wow, this thread turned religious real quick... If I'm being honest, I think many of the people in this thread are discussing things way out of their league. Non of us have really done the in-depth research in the bible or science to go off making claims which we think are true.

All we're doing is misquoting sources, taking things out of context and confusing each other.

Is there free will? for me it seems so, because we all choose or are trying to choose to live a life that is porn free. No one is forcing us, these are our choices be it against our own natural desires.
