In the bible, Genesis, it says that when God created Mankind, he gave us something special which animals didn't have.

What do you think this is?

I agree with NinjaCube. 1 of Gods Magnicent gifts were Free Will.

*sigh* Fair Enough.

A bit of a fallacy on my part. Sorry.

But seriously, how come it takes magic for free will?

Because things must work in a logical order.

Free will would be just doing things out of no where.
Thats why I say, there is a reason behind everything you do, except for those which are determined by luck.

free will
noun
the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion.


That was taken from the Oxford American Dictionary

Free will is not doing something out of no where, it is doing something based on your own decision

How is free will "doing things out of no where".

Free will means you have the choice to do what you want. Say i was being controlled by a person who hates apples. Say i love apples. I would not be able to eat apples because the person controlling me hates them. Now if he was not controlling me, i have free will because i can make that choice, and eat the apples

Your decision must have a reason to back it up.
I don't think your understand my point.

In a sense you do have free will because you are the one to control yourself.

My theory establishes that you have two different "brains". One which we call mind, where we notice the things that are going around us and where we can talk to ourselves. This is just the "viewer". Whatever our brains do is unconscious and we are only able to view what it gives us.

Ahh yes. Other animals live for survival. We have exceeded that and are not just living for luxury.

We were given the gift of thinking. How many creatures can think on a scale near us. He gave us this and free will followed. We lived for ourselves more than for survival. I consider this free (from burdens) will.

Well not sure what you think my theory is.

Explain what you think I'm trying to say.

I dont think communication is the gift Drace as every animal can aommunicate. Just beacuse you can't understand them doesn't mean they don't.

They don't communicate like we do.

We have a language. They just express themselves to send out a message.

Like a baby crying when its hungry.

Its no where as efficient.

They cant say something like "Oh you go hunt that way and I'll go that way and we'll meet at 7th Brand Avenue."

Yeah, but have you noticed that animals get on fine and there not all extinct.

Plus it shows how good they are that they don't need to split up and can depend on themselves unlike many humans in the world.
