Default Re: A Refutation of Determinism

In conclusion, it is the nut best belief to trust in free will, whether or not it actually exists. Make sense?

The real issue seems to be how can we escape determinism on a non-theistic basis. The only option is pure randomness which doesn't appear any more attractive than pure determinism. The core difficulty is that it's impossible for a non-theistic metaphysic to provide rational justification to the idea that human life has any significance whatsover.
