      Church?

      Free will vs determinism doesn’t have to do with religion.

      I do think that the universe is deterministic and that humans (or any other being) do no have free will per se. In the sense that given the same state of the universe at some point the next states are determined and if it were to be repeated the evolution of the state of the universe would be the same.

      Nothing to do with religion. Just with things not happening because of nothing, every action is consequence of another action, that includes all our brain impulses. I don’t think there are “souls” outside the state of the matter that could take decisions by themselves with determined.

      But this is mostly philosophical of what “free will” means. Is it free will as long as you don’t know that the decision was already made from the very beginning?
