Predestination

Post Reply New Topic

Perhaps in a universe that operates quantumly, predestination can be within our direction. In an infinite universe all things are possible.

I don't see how that follows. What if my infinite universe just consists of the number of different distances from the center of a dart board I can hit? There's an infinity of them, ergo an infinity of possibilities, but it's kind of drab.

Our universe contains more than dartboards. You also have to consider your self, the observer, as well as polyfurcation over time and space. Constructive and destructive actions such as disassembling the dart board and manufacturing some other item. This would also assume, oxygen, gravity, an origin for materials, etc..

I've no religious affiliation.

I believe in "destination fixed" period. Meaning, everything that's going to happen, is pretty much set in stone by a pebble that fell from a hill long ago. Nothing anyone can do about it. What we see as "free will" is a trick in our minds. Every decision we make is based on SOMETHING, is it not? Previous experience, previous actions and reactions. We don't choose our past, and that's the very thing we base all of our actions on. Every action has a root, something that we didn't choose to begin with.

I'm not being clear with this, maybe I'll clarify later.
