but, what if you only think that you thunk?



You say nothing is random, but, we havent investigated everything yet, have we? =)

Yes, you can say that based on existing information, its unlikely that anything is random, but you cant eliminate the possibility that something being random does exist.

And lets say even the simplest thing, such as electron movements is random, then, there is nothing but random (chance, or co-incidence, call it what you will), which is my theory.


And believe it or not, our theories are remarkably similiar, except for one important factor - repeatability.

A simple example - lets say your about to hit a shot in a game of pool. On this shot, an attractive blonde walks by, causing your attention to be diverted, for a split second, and when, and as a result, instead of hitting the ball you were aiming for, you miss, hit another ball, and start a chain reaction that sinks three of your balls.

Your reason would be that a sum of prior events led up to the blonde walking past you at that split second and thus dictated what would happen at the present time, i.e. you sinking many balls instead of one.

My theory: An infinite sum of chances culminated in that blonde walking past you.

Whats the difference, you ask... simple as this. Lets say we could rewind the world to five minutes before you took the shot. By your theory, its certain that the same blonde will walk past you at the same time causing the same reaction.

By my theory, nothing is certain. The blonde may walk by again, but then again, maybe not.
