The question of whether, or not, we have Free Will, is pivotal in the assesment of the nature of what our connection to the universe is. Can Free Will be measured, quantified, proven? It represents an utterly infinite, complex, notion. In judging the merit, of this " belief " or that, a system of ideas, generaly provide a baseline for gauging the value of a given idea, like the rules of science, the teachings of the bible, etc, depending on which, in a myriad of perspectives, you are speaking from. Some descibe thier arguments in terms of Faith, others in various forms of scientific proof. Is there an underlying Truth within the cosmos, that ultimately explains all, and also, would allow that Free Will is an accurate feature present in various forms of so called " living " entities. Well it is all very fascinating stuff, amazing to ponder, like trying to put the pieces together, of an infinte puzzle. At one point, it can look like one thing, and then, as you add more peices, your perception of what it shows, can change, over, and over again. Well this journey of exploration holds unlimited interesting supprises, and even though there may be no defineable destination, I walk happily ahead, to the new adventures of the mind that await, over the next hill :-)
