Re: free will and god poll

if God exists, then freewill can't. if it's so obvious, just tell me.

i think it's basically that god is all knowing and all powerful, and made the universe and everything in it according to his will. therefore anything that you think is your will is actually his

by similar logic - if you don't believe in God, but instead believe that we are products of the natural world, then everything we are is determined by our biology (which is, i suppose, determined by the other sciences). we didn't choose to exist, therefore we can have no free will.
if you say - "biology gave us free will" then you can say "god gave us free will."
if you say - "i know i have free will because i experience it" then it doesn't matter whether there is a God or not.
What if God exists and you are God? that is easiest way for me to comprehend the existence of freewill.
