So to summarise I can't spell, there is a flying spageti monster, reflections are just a diffrent part of reality and there is no god.
Originally posted by NordlysIf you can always predict soemones action in a situation then we have no free will. This is if you know everything about them even mapping their brain all the electrical impulses chemicals and you know everything about the situation and you can predict there action I do not belive this can be done. Maybe oneday though but then if we had no free will you couldn't hold a person responsible for crimes they commited.

There has been an interesting experiment quite a while ago where people were made to make a movement by stimulating a muscle or something (I don't remember the details). They didn't know when that would happen, so they couldn't prepare for it. The interesting thing is that they didn't experience it that way, but thought they had wanted to make the movement.
