CS Lewis, a noted Christian apologist and author, takes on the problem of free will and the problem of evil. Lewis attempts to deconstruct the objections of critics and explain why free will is preferable to determinism. In addition, the problem of evil (theodicy) is integrated into discussion by explaining how evil is a necessary byproduct of a population with free will.

I argue that the freewill verses determinism debate is an artifact of dualism, a misunderstanding. They are not different, not mutually exclusive, but are the same thing from different perspectives. Freewill is the subjective experience of processing the determinants of my determined decisions. It is how determinism feels. Maybe the same can be said of concepts like god, soul, & mind. We try to objectify these subjective experiences to give them reality. But why? the subjective is just as ...

Just thinking about free will, and specifically about how the way I think about determinism (basically as a kind of newtonian snooker game) is limiting my understanding.

Just because humans cannot determine that outcome of a coin toss, they assume the coin toss is random. Whereas, a coin toss is a causally determined event. The events we call "random" and acts of "free will" are both the inescaple outcomes of the laws of cause and effect. To say a coin freely chooses to land on heads or tails on its own accord once events and forces have happened to the coin to make it spin in the air, makes as much sense as saying the human acts of its own accord once ...

This is my very first video. You can see the gaps and where alcohol takes its hold half way through but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Essentially, I disagree with both determinism and free will. Free will sounds ridiculous - how can you propose a concept of the 'self' which can influence the physical world itself? It's crazy. Determinism itself however fails because of quantum mechanics. I believe everything has a cause, but I do not believe that the future is precluded. If we grant that there ...
