God's Divine Plan and Man's Free Will
God has a divine plan and everything that happens or does not happen is according to his will. "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7). "Whatever the LORD desires he does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths" (Psalms 135:6). "Indeed, she (Wisdom) spans the world from end to end mightily, and governs all things well." (Wisdom 8:1). St. Thomas Aquinas says that God's will is the cause of things (Summa Theologica)... In other words, even if it is a kind of weird animal, free will is a myth, a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. Free will does not exist. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Poch, please explain how free will or thought can exist according to your view of reality. In a godless world, how is free thought possible? If we are mere biology and nothing more, our thought processes and our responses to any and every situation are completely predetermined by our genetic programming. Your thoughts are purely cause and effect bio-chemical processes. You are no more "free" to think or choose apart from your genetic programming than a weed is to grow apart from its genetic code. This means that choice and thought must be illusions. My worldview explains free thought and choice. It explains why our present discussion on your blog has meaning. Please tell me how your view can explain these things.
Ken, isn't it enough to appreciate a beautiful garden without having to believe that fairies exist underneath it in order to keep it beautiful? Why do you have to complicate what is already so simple to appreciate such as the simplicity behind the existence of the power of reason? Poch Suzara
Perhaps in your worldview, that is possible; appreciate a beautiful garden without having to believe there was a gardener.
Ken, please wake up! A gardener is not all-powerful, is not all-knowing. Have you ever heard of a gardener planting poison plants to be part of his beautiful garden? Or worst - have you ever heard of a gardener who puts a sick TALKING SERPENT to be a part of his garden. HUH? Poch Suzara
