Well from a Christian perspective TBO
determinism = predestination, ultimately these words have the same meaning. But I suppose you are right, I do believe in free will and think every human being is capable of choosing their own fate. So you could argue my problem is really the thought that our human existence has no purpose or meaning. But it is also with human experiences, and what is considered truth. If I have an experience that does not fit within the walls of science as "truth", does that make it false? Or could it be that what I experienced is indeed as real as gravity, and simply cannot be quantified by science? I agree there is no way on either side to prove or disprove the existence of God. Just like science cannot prove or disprove love or hate. I have always had the view that humans are simply limited in their understanding, so whether it be the unknown things of the universe or the things of God, we are ultimately trying to understand and explain things as we see/experience within the confines of our limited minds. We all have faith one way or the other, in something....in that OUR view is the correct one when we cannot be 100% certain. This is where our experiences can take us in one direction or the other. Science is a great thing, and has evolved so much even over the last 50 years it's pretty staggering. I just squirm at the thought of putting 100% of my faith in science and only natural known occurrences, when again, there are things it (science) cannot explain but for all intents and purposes could be stated as fact.thanks for the link btw, I'll check it out.
