The problem of free will in atheistic conceptions

And here we address another problem of atheistic perceptions... It is a problem of free will. The strict reductionist materialism of atheists dictates that causal determinism occurs. Things do not happen arbitrarily, but are governed by strict laws and all beings follow these laws with such precision as the Cairo University clock. We are, after all, machines and free will, and they are nothing more or as the well-known atheist Sam Harris puts it in his book Free Will: “We are merely biochemical forces going beyond them.” University of Chicago evolutionary professor Jerry Coyne explains: “The brain and organs are the decision-making vessels and they are molecules and the order and order of these molecules are predetermined by genes and the surrounding environment, and our decisions are based on electrical impulses emanating from these molecules and chemicals transmitted from one neuron to another, and these impulses and chemicals must follow the physical laws, so our choices must obey these laws.” This means that to say that we can choose otherwise than we have already chosen means that we can walk outside the physical structure of the brain and change the way it works, which is invalid, and it is also invalid that the computer program produces us any result other than the result programmed in it. Therefore, it clearly concludes that free will is an illusion and that those who see otherwise have the burden of proof. Then it is answered by objectors that we feel free will that we as human beings are determined by Darwinian evolution. The conclusion of the doctrine of the people is that we are only biological machines that do not even have freedom of choice and I do not really know how to convince their followers of this doctrine. Of course, we do not deny the influence of biological, environmental, and other factors on human decisions, but they do not negate free will altogether in favor of causal determinism. But this radicalism is flawed in determining the causes of human actions. Freud saw only the sexual factor as influencing, Marx saw only the economic factor as influencing, and Darwin saw only the conflict factor as influencing, and so on. - Dr. Hisham Azmi More: https://braheen.com/publications/الإلحاد-للمبتدئين — Source: Published on Facebook's "Braheen Center" page https://www.facebook.com/braheen.org/posts/pfbid0sEnZjZuDsEYDpsE22iWfa7mK7M1bAAEpNsj9xgmdvZooSvbMfcYRANXhBcCMzyfWl
