and we are just ignorant of all the irresistible forces acting upon us. Total determinism rules the universe and human life.I believe that all events in the history of the world, and the actions and incidents which make up the story of each individual life, are determined by fate. The thoughts, feelings and reasoning of mankind have had no effect on our history.I believe in determinism, because god, or an otherwise known supernatural being, supports determinism. The basis of god is that he is all mighty and knows it all. If free will was allowed, there would be decisions and actions in which God could not know due to the persons choice. This would limit Gods omnipotence, which is unacceptable.Human beings want to be self-controlled. We find ourselves with goals and we attempt to achieve these by searching out the information we need to accomplish them. Many things are incompatible with such self-control. We rightly fear control by others such as military dictators, TV commercials, subliminal hypnotists controlling our actions, or evil demons. Many of us worry about getting out of control, or losing control or ourselves; terminal illnesses such as multiple sclerosis are an example of extreme cases. There are real dangers to our self-control, but determinism is not one of them....
