Pre-Determined Future - The logic in the free will vs' fate or destiny debate
If we take this concept and expand on it we come to some, possibly, disturbing realisations. If, somehow, at a given point in time, you were to know the position of every particle of every bit of energy in the entire universe and you knew exactly everything there is to know about every particle and how they react to every other particle, would you be able to predict the future paths of every particle? Logically yes. Does this then mean that everything, although probably not predetermined, has a path that it follows and has no way of changing? If this is the case, then is free-will just an illusion.
Do we just seem to have choices but in actuality, when we, supposedly, decide something we are just following our unavoidable path. Is free-will something that we created to make ourselves "the smart ones" feel more in control? And in that case was free-will itself a concept that was inevitable regardless of it’s actual existence or not. What about religion and where is the soul in all this? Well many people believe that the soul is made out of pure energy (or in some peoples case "not so pure"). It is this energy that I am talking about and the particles or substance that make it up. As a free thinking human, I would like to believe in free-will, and that we make our own destiny. However, having thought this through, I can not totally discredit the possibility that everything that we think and do was decided when the first particles of the universe set their path a googolplex millennia ago.About the Author:James Cole is a filmmaker, photographer, artist and philosopher.
