I think we humans rely far too much on our anticipation
mechanisms when we base them upon the past patterns. It's nice
that we have them all written out, and they allow for some
limited predictions of the future where I could see that
_perhaps_ some future things are somewhat predictable - perhaps
many - perhaps most. But lacking all, some form of indeterminate
has to remain, imo. For me, certainly enough for Free Will to
function. If someone wants to jump from 0.0001% to 0, I suppose
they can. But I'd rather leave the gap open. For God? Well, not
the mad scientist God view certainly. But for things that happen
that we can't perceive because the mechanical limitations of our
senses and brains and limitations of our species and the
limitations of the things we can create? Yes. Until you point me
to another species we can compare notes with, determinism is out
the window for me. Gotta have that gap. I don't care what people
shove in that gap, they ain't gonna seal it. Shove God in there?
it's not sealed. Shove Logic in there? Ain't sealed. Shove
certainty in there? Here's a hammer to the head while you're
asleep. etc.
