Do We Have A Free Will

#

Religion says there is no free will.
Without God’s will, nothing happens.
So if there is any free will that is of God.
Man is a slave.

Science says everything can be predicted
we need parameters and a good quality model.
If a model is good quality and all parameters are given
as an input then what you will eat,
where you will go, when will you sleep,
what you will buy, when you will drink, etc
everything can be predicted precisely.
AI and ML are proving this.
So, ultimately, science is also saying
human is a slave and doesn’t have any free will.

A spiritual person says I don’t know for sure,
whether God exists or not but I am sure
that I am not just a heap of food, ideas, and emotions
that science is telling me.
But I am much more than that physical nature of my existence.
I am responsible for my actions.
Rewards and punishment both are for me.
What I do using my body and mind
I must bear the consequences.
It is about responsibility.

When someone is irresponsible
either they throw everything on God
like religious people do or
they throw everything on their compulsiveness
like scientists say that you are a complex wave function
of billions of parameters
what you will do next already decided
by your parameters and wave function.

In Corona times or otherwise
what you think about yourself
at least that is your free will.
