* In this context Free Will is defined as the ability to make choices that are not fully determined by past events nor fully random
I know this is a hard question and that nobody claims to have 100% certanity..... but in your opinion what is more likely to be true?... do you think humans have the aility to make choices ?
I think we all have free will to a degree, but not always 100 percent, all the time, for everything. For example, if you are law abiding you will not use your free will to break the law, but rather will try to go along with the program. But in cases where there is no hard rules, such as Coke or Pepsi, free will would allow us to choose either or neither.
I like free will, as opposed to just will power, to mean willful choices without any cost or price; free will. To willfully choose to break the law may have the cost or price of feeling guilty or inducing fear. I can willfully do this in some cases; speeding, but that willful choice is not free emotionally. The price and cost may be anxiety excitement. On the other hand, if there was an apple and orange on a table, and I liked both, then either choice will be free of emotional or psychological cost. Liking all things; moderation, bring us closer to free will.
A college fraternity may dare the pledges to eat gross things. This can be done willfully. One may weight the costs of two choices; eat it or do not get in the fraternity. However, as you eat you will feel the grossness, so it is not free will, even if you willfully meet the challenge. One would need to enjoy gross things as much as delicious things, and give or take the fraternity, to have free will in this situation; joyful flexibility.
Paul in the Bible, said I became all things to all men, so I could save some; cultural free will apart from cultural clique laws. He also said all things are lawful but not all things edify. All things are lawful but I will not be master by anything. He was setting the stage for free will among all humans; share their ways.
