<font color="blue">I am really confused by this example. I'm not sure why motion affects determinism. And, as I'm sure you know, when your car is "stopped", it's still in motion. </font>

What I'm trying to figure out is how I do not have free will. I just cannot conceptualize it.

As I udnerstand it, determinism states that everything I do is caused by an antecedent event which sets everything in motion to where I do not have a choice over my actions or thoughts. Everything I do and think, I'm doing because of some causal link. Is this correct? Maybe I'm not understanding what determinism is?

So whether it was the big bang or God who set everything in motion, the point is I have no choice. Everything has already been set in motion and it's oucome pre-determined.

I'm just having a real hard time buying into this.
