Default Re: Is Fatalism Worse or Equal to Religion?

If QM randomness influences the universe, then the universe is indeterministic.

I'm a long time believer in determinism, but the universe is a lot more complicated than may seem intuitive to me, or any classical physicist. I don't understand QM, I don't understand how or if the randomness on that minute level impacts reality, and, were it not for the fact that some very, very smart people who know more than I do about physics think it has some merit, I wouldn't believe in it at all.

But then, what do I know? I think it's a good possibility.

I still, however, see no reason to believe in free will [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
