Free Choice
Question
I think the discussions about free choice can be summed up like this:
My basic assumption is that whatever is tangible is real. I feel that I choose, that I weigh things myself, and so on.
To say that this is a bluff is just as absurd as if tomorrow someone came to me and told me that all the people I see are an illusion, that they don’t exist, and I accepted that. This is no different from free choice—in both cases I’m denying something tangible. But denying free choice is necessary for atheists, so in my opinion this is just a retroactive justification.
Answer
I agree with the first part. I didn’t understand the last sentence in the second part.
Free choice is direct evidence of the Creator.
