I am of two sides on this (of course).
On the one
hand, the
logical hand, I can't argue with
determinism;
cause and effect,
cause and
effect. I wish someone could inform me of something truely
random, then maybe I could
dump the
determinism.
On the other
hand, deep down in my
heart I feel like I really do have
free will. How can't I, I make so many choices in a day and most of them seem (if you don't think really hard about it) caused by nothing but my
will.
There doesn't seem like any
good way to reconcile the two either. You can take
cause and
effect back, back, back and
maybe (just
maybe) you get to a
God, then
maybe (just
maybe) he gave us
free will and there is the causality behind it, but there are about 4....
billion maybe's in this last
statement.
Damn.
