When asked whether he believed in free will or predestination, Isaac Bashevis singer replied: "That's an easy question. We have to believe in free will. We have no choice." The discussion on free will seems awfully vicious to me. The screens full of arguments over definitions are kind of depressing. But then I guess it was VOltaire who said that the quickest way to ruin a good discussion is to define your terms :-) Is there something we can do with this discussion to bring it out of the mud? :-) Norman
