RE: Why I Believe in Free Will and Not Determinism Nor God's Intelligent Design.
Thanks for sharing but I don't think that if God exists this necessarily means that we don't have free will. There is a concept called divine foreknowledge that explains how God can know everything before it happens but people still have free will. The idea is that human decisions determine the foreknowledge of God. Not the other way around.
oh, id be willing to conceed that god exsists. Depending on how you think of god or what you mean by it.
Just not intelligent design. that,s where i have some problems. though i certainly skipped definitions on this one and it was more of a moment of inspiration after conversations with friends, many convos.
Then a proper philosophical paper of sorts.
But yea, divine foreknowledge does not equal determinism. knowledge alone does not imply action or will. simply awareness.
So even with the above concept, you are still not talking about intelligent design which is what I'm talking about.
