This article is now available at Voegelinview. Among other things, I argue that if physical determinism were true, then the appearance of intelligent behavior and the fact that car accidents, for instance, are the exception, not the rule, would be a mystery. Determinists typically want to banish God and consciousness – that is, our ordinary subjective experience of freely thinking, evaluating, deciding and having purposes – yet end up imbuing The Big Bang, by logical implication, with many of the properties of both God and consciousness, including omniscience, omnipotence, benevolence, purpose, intention and desire.

Determinism and free will find Truth in Perfection…
So I am determined to Perfection and a righteous free will shall be the effect.
Thordaddy – I agree with that concerning determinism, free will and perfection.
The effect of Babel in relation to “determinism” is a low-grade “reverse psychology” of sorts where one stomps and screams the highest reality of “determinism” for the very purpose of drawing out those most inclined to destroy DETERMINATION. Over time and having successly and aggressively destroyed determination in one white Christian after another, “we” reach this point… NO DETERMINATION TO PERFECTION in the white Christian because…
“Determinism.”
Nah…
Rejection of Perfection.
In other words, “determinism” shall be false everywhere where it shall not be true in a will to Perfection.
