So, if free will does exsist...if I do indeed have "choice", then where is the line drawn between who (or what) has free will and who doesn't? Does a dog have free will? Does a tree? Does a basketball?
I don't know if I believe in free will or not, but I don't think anything that has been written here so far is proving in any way that there is. Why are my actions any different than that of a basketball? When a basketball is thrown against a wall there is only one way it can react. Because of the way it was thrown, the texture of the wall, gravity, wind...all of these things (in other words, physics) cause the ball to react a certain way. Why am I any different? I know I chose to write a reply to this thread, but in the bigger picture is choice just an illusion?
