You're new. You will need to present more than this barely articulate drivel should you wish to receive responses here. — Banno

How is it inarticulate? You know full well what is meant and most people can understand it. Why don't you want to understand what i wrote?

Are you honestly going to argue about what the definition of Causation? Do you believe in Objective truth?

God given rights. Do you really have any?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

When a right is given to us by governments, they assume and have a duty to ensure that they are never taken from us. If governments do not accept and do this enforcement duty, then citizens have a corrupted government.

If a right is given to a soul, by god, he would have a duty to ensure that they are never taken from us. The fact that they often are, indicates that he is shirking his duty.

To me, rights are like laws, completely useless and worthless unless they can be enforced by a given power when they are breached.

Do you have any real god given rights, or are god given rights just a feel-good lie that we tell ourselves we have so as to ignore that we have none?

Are you a Gnostic Christian or a Naturalist? You sound much more like a Naturalist than a Gnostic Christian.

The standard philosophical prejudice is that given an accurate enough account of the position of the box and a given ball, a competent physicist will be able to tell us which of the bins across the bottom the ball will land in.

And in this sense the path of the ball is determined.

But of course no one could determine the final resting place of the ball. Even the smallest error in the initial positions will be magnified until it throws out the calculations.

Anscombe wrote this in a time of only nascent chaos theory, which could only serve to amplify her point.

The notion that the universe is determined fails. — Banno

Your assumption and the article's assumption is that the Universe is simple enough for extremely intelligent humans to predict an extremely complicated universe. This article was written by a simpleton. Much of quantum physics is disagreed upon by many physicists. Not all Quantum Physicists agree on Quantum Physics. People very often assume that Theoretical Physicists always make the right judgements.

If i or you don't 100% understand the math and the lab results behind a scientific theory, you and i (right/wrong/or indifferent) are putting our faith in scientists. Belief, Faith, and partial understanding of a concept are all forms of gambling.
