Doesn't christianity claim that there is such thing as free will? By your train of thought, nothing is ever random, everything has a cause. This would mean that there is no such thing as free will. That contradicts your religion...

You forgot free will that emanates from the soul.



And the soul is located somewhere in the lower middle back, right?

I don't know if it has a specific location. What do you think?

Isn't it connected to your crown chakra?

Yeah. I think very much our behaviour, and thus many of our decisions, is determined by genes and programming (or you could also say, the actual structure and electric state of the neuronal network).

But as I believe conciousness is unique to souls, there's some indepence of the soul as well. I believe a computer can never have consciousness like humans have.

According to Eastern religions who meditate a lot it is yeah. But I think most of them believes the soul or centre of all energy is situated in the pituitary gland or around that area. I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying...
