> Coliin, if god or anyone else knows about (can see) the future, it means the future is determined. If the future is determined, then we have no free will, only the illusion of it.
I believe that there things that are meant to be. There are little synchronicities that happen all the time which to me, are not coincidences but just indications of something even larger that is beyond our grasp, and that we can tune in with the universe, that everything has its place, and the fabric of reality is woven together so intricately, that science and rational thinking do not begin to comprehend it. I believe this because I have experienced it in my life. I believe as well that time is an illusion so that any determinations made about the possibility of knowing the future based on cyclical time are inherently flawed. Free will definately exists- if I were to throw myself off a cliff that would definately change my future. Anything is always possible...I just believe that some ways are more in tune with the universe and some go against the very grain of our reality. Perhaps that is one reason the world is in such a clusterfuck right now. Victor in Decatur
