question over the existence of free will has raged on over many years. Many feel that God‚ saw an omniscient being‚ must be aware of all that has happened and all that will happen. Supporters of the cosmological argument would suggest that everything has a cause and that god was the initial cause‚ “the unmoved mover” (Tomas Aquinus)‚ this would support the idea that humanity has no free will as everything is pre determined. This highlights the idea that humanity is not free‚ and even when we think we

is it possible for God to be all good and yet evil exist in the world? The imperative answer to the problem of evil is that evil originates from human free will. However‚ Mackie objects to this option. His belief is that nothing eliminates a world where everyone has free will and they always choose good. If Mackie’s defense is correct‚ then the free will solution is not sufficient. Unfortunately for Mackie‚ he is incorrect; the world that he has thought of would not have the greatest human relationships

Introduction We usually believe that what we do or choose to do is our own free will. We decide what to choose. But the question is that are we really free to do what we wish? Is it our own choice or are we determined to do things due to natural laws of the universe? Different philosophers have a different point of view while answering these questions. Some‚ such as Baron d’Holbach (1723-89) believed that people do not have a free will or any choice; there is always a reason behind what they do. Whereas
