,,but if there is something interfering with your choice,,then the choice wasn't made freely.Seems like that doesn't it?
interferences may be external,,or internal. If you think about it,,every choice you ever make is influenced by some sort of interference. Therefore free will is just an illusion.

It's like I said, you believe you have free will, but the circumstances make you act different
The things you listed aren't virtual, they are relative.Great.
Something must exist to be relative, but its meaning is dictated by the current situation at hand. An illusion is an idea. An idea does not exist. Free will and fate are also ideas. This adds a whole other layer of abstraction to the whole question.

Everything is logically connected.
I didn't use the sarcastic smiley, so no.The things you listed aren't virtual, they are relative.Great.

What I meant in the phrase "Great" is how great Holkeye's post is.
Not "Great" as in "Great, you spilled hot glue to my pants."
Time travel, magic "powers" and Gods speaking to humans have nothing to do with reality. The problem with your post is that you are speaking of some fantasy land. I'm not judging your spiritual beliefs, because lord knows mine are pretty whacked out too, but maybe you need to set up camp in the real world.

You just don't get it. I'm saying that our lives are not predetermined, and backing it up by saying timetravel can't happen because the future isn't predetermined, and the past no longer exists. That's what I was trying to back up with all of that. Honestly, I mean, come on.
Also,,time is an abstract notion,,rather than thinking about it as a chronological timeline,,think of it as a variable.
For example, you don't just exist at present time, today. You also exist at a point two years ago,,you also exist at a point 10 years ago,,you exist in many places [timewise] at once.
It states that the location of EVERY ATOM at ANY GIVEN TIME can be determined through a set of calculations. A pretty freaky notion if correct,,which means that everything has been predetermined. So much for free will.......The only thing that is already pre-determined is the time we have to use our free will. Free will is absolute, for to use however we want and whenever we want.
You're wrong though, because technically we are "time travelling into the future" because we are never staying still. Time, like the things in an older post of mine, is an idea.
You should read some books.

Excuse me? Nobody can be "wrong" in a debate. It's arrogant to say I'm wrong. And don't tell me to read books. Take a look at yourself before you show disrespect towards others.

When you state a false fact, you are wrong. Debate or not. We can be having a debate about chicken nuggets, and if I say "these are made of beef", its still fucking wrong.
Animefan is like another Elegy, but not in the same way. He's like a person that shouldn't be allowed in ED.
So in a nutshell, I don't believe that any time other than right now currently exists. The past USED to exist, when it was the present. The future WILL exist, when it becomes the present, but only the present exists. Therefore, a destiny has not been set for me, and my life was not predetermined.Am I the only one of the opinion that this is just a long-winded way of saying "The past exists" and "The future exists"? It's kind of in the definition of the words, and implied in the usages thereof.
Excuse me? Nobody can be "wrong" in a debate. It's arrogant to say I'm wrong. And don't tell me to read books. Take a look at yourself before you show disrespect towards others.I recall proving people wrong in debates on many occassions, here and elsewhere. It's not arrogance (although I am arrogant, that's a different matter), it's merely that there IS a difference between "true" and "false" (I really do love when people say otherwise, though).
