There's this one evolutionist in the documentary who claims that evolution proves that human being have no free will. A google search will show that this belief is somewhat widespread. The problem, however, is that the same people would say that evolution is an undirected process with no intelligence behind it. So, they have a random undirected process causing Determinism of the will. That's totally illogical. Determinism requires a god to determine everyone's actions. A random process cannot be deterministic by very definition! The fact that people are arguing that a random process can result in lack of free will indicates that the argument that men have no free will is an ethical argument based on people's desire to excuse their actions and not an argument based on any logical corollary of a prior doctrinal foundation. When you have rock solid creationists and totally undirected-evolution atheist evolutions saying that their view of the origin of human life proves Determinism, what you find is that neither one is basing their final result (Determinism) on their doctrinal foundation, but on the desire to excuse their evil actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-69168963841109894502009-02-01T20:55:00.000-05:002009-02-01T20:55:00.000-05:00toss your false god and false apostle in the trash...toss your false god and false apostle in the trash while you're at it.PaulSceptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904172612565533112noreply@blogger.com
