what evidence is there to disprove it?

Originally posted by RJT Regardless of whether or not I believe in determinism, I do feel that we can never possibly know the answer to the question you posed, and will therefore live in blissful ignorance of whether or not my free will is actually free, or a mere illusion masking what amount to nothing more than an insignificantly small part of the great cosmic swerve! And for some reason I can't understand, this feels appropriate for this thread: quote: A man said to the Universe: "Sir, I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.

That's a pretty piss poor way to defend your position.

"Free will" comes to mind.

I'm not trying to prove anything, just reminding people they can't either.

technically, as far as my knowledge of physics goes, that is true. however, it is not something anyone can ever really come to accept.

well so what if fates exist, as long as you don't know what it holds, it should not matter one bit cuz how will you ever know what is and what is not fate. Afterall if fate did exist it would only exist in the form of guiding the choices you make and the opportunities you take (or don't take) in life and that in essence is controlled only by yourself.

Personally, I always crack up at the people who feel that its their fate to never succeed but always suffer. It's this frame of mind that will exacly prevent them from ever thriving that extra mile to achieve success or happiness in life.

LOL! Read that in my metaphysics class this semester, almost universally panned as "faux intellectual rubbish."
