Freethinkers Meetup
Our meeting topic for August is free will. For those of us who do not believe in the intervention of supernatural agents, this is an important issue. On the one hand, we do not believe our lives are predetermined by the Fates (or just Fate) or God. On the other, does our acceptance of science and the understanding of natural laws - which are based on the reliability of cause and effect - mean we have no free will?
There are many concerns with either accepting or rejecting free will. How much control do we have over our own lives? What can we be held responsible for?
