Default Re: Zeroing in on free will

So let me get this str8. You want to know that if two different people are really identical in every possible way. And you give them an instant to exercise free will. Is this a fair assessment of free will? You are correct about the two options the souls could be different or the souls act randomly, but to think that these are the only two mutually exclusive options is short-sighted.

[/ QUOTE ] You do, it's called freewill. When you examine the "instants" of peoples life, freewill isn't so apparent, it is only when we look at the longevity of life that one can understand freewill. As a rational creature you can change your future actions by educating yourself today. So in a sense you are right there are a ton of people who do not have free-will, others of us choose to be human. Free-will isn't random it's calculated. It isn't given, it's earned.
