Refutations

Some Examples of Simplistic Free Will Refutations

(The Bible: No Free Will goes into much more detail)

You Couldn’t Have Done Otherwise.
You were/are always doing the best you can at the time.
Cause and Effect (Causality). There is only one causal chain.
Who would be depressed or angry if they had free will?
You could have been born someone else and had their consciousness (no ultimate moral responsibility).
If God knows everything, free will is impossible.
Free Will implies choices are 50/50 and that we have no preferences.
We cannot make a decision outside of Nature and Nurture.
We have a subconscious and an unconscious.
We did not self – cause ourselves (we are not first causers). We did not create ourselves and therefore are part of a causal chain of events.
Quantum Indeterminacy or randomness does not give us free will.
Either Determinism or Indeterminism is true and neither gives us free will.
Pleasure Principle (we have no choice but to always attempt to go towards pleasure and away from pain).
Life is unpredictable. Unpredictability does not equal free will. Just because you cannot predict something does not mean it is not predetermined. There are too many variables to calculate.
We do not get to choose such things as our personality, sensitivities, intelligence, or our consciousness.
If we had free will, who would freely choose evil? Why not freely choose to be a perfect angel all the time?
We can choose our preferences, but we cannot choose what we prefer.
We can choose our desires, but we cannot choose what we desire.
We can choose our wants, but we cannot choose what we want.
Everything is a conditioned response based on our personal history.
