Does Free Will Exist?
A recent article in The Atlantic claimed “A Famous Argument Against Free Will Has Been Debunked.” It focused on an experiment during the 1980s that seems to show our brain “decides” on our behavior before we actually make particular choices. Many believed this confirmed we don’t have free will, that all our thoughts and behaviors are determined.
But is that really the case? Is free will just an illusion? In this episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” I explain some of the classic arguments for free will and its relationship to God and Christianity.
A listener asks why in Catholicism pride is a deadly sin, but Aristotle describes it as a virtue.
