[QUOTE="FredVB, post: 77457447, member: 259043"] I remember learning things that relate to this in a college philosophy class long ago. Indeterminism is a view that events are not certain and what happens is from probability, and it seems to fit with quantum theory. Determinism is a view that all things are caused and determined by what preceded, and it seems to fit well with what is seen on a much larger scale. Free agency is a view that we are moral agents which deliberate from what we see to choose, and choose accordingly as we see would fit. And epiphenomenalism is a view that the physical processes all occur deterministically as they will, and there is real consciousness that has no effect on any physical occurrence and has just illusions that there are effects which have things caused from the choices from consciousness, this seems to fit with what this original post claims, in which consciousness is there just along for the ride. It does not fit well at all with there being Christian responsibility, but if it was this way, you could never be sure anyone else has that consciousness. Right? [/QUOTE]
