Free will and Determination


We have explored the ideas of free will and determinism. Free will is a gift given to us from God and allows us to make choices according to our moral code, but which also brings with it responsibility for the consequences of those choices. Determinism states that external factors determine our behaviour and actions and we therefore have no responsibility for our choices.

If God doesn't exist then good and evil do not exist as there is no goodness and nobody is evil in the world if there is no god.

If there is no free will then we are to blame for our all of our actions.

If our lives are completely undetermined then we will never know what will happen next in life and will never know how we will live.
