If it is assumed that things operate purely on cause->effect. And that effects are causes in of themselves. Then free will does not exist as current causes have already been determined by those which preceeded them.
Peat & Pennywise121:
My coworker would argue about this to the death. He very much believes in the 3 forms of god: The Son, The Father, and the Holy Spirit. If you asked him "Coul god could create a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it?" He would say: "Yes. The spirit could create it and the son, Jesus, couldn't." To me, this is silly- though it is a clever answer to a trap question.
Here's an interesting point brought up in my school's philosophy club on the subject:
If the nature of god's omniscence implies that we have no free will, then does it also mean that some people are predetermined to go to hell?
