Yet when you die, theoretically if all of your cells are brought back to life, you would live again but practically that does not happen and science has a difficulty explaining death so until death is explained I don't think we can truly know free will exists or not. Is the chemical process the causal phenomena or is it caused by something we can't fully comprehend. Are the chemicals just a physical messenger of the body to do the action or are they the ones creating the action directly? I believe in souls so I think free will is there at least in that metaphysical sense but it's not there in a political sense. But that's another discussion altogether |
Metaphysics and that soul stuff are those things which people like to hold on to without even knowing what it is. That make it difficult to debate with people like dualists and such.
But I know something that crushes that thinking, and that's the split brain experiment. Get a read on it. It's awesome :)
