Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by seer View PostNo, I did not shift anything. And yes I do maintain that if materialism is correct, free will is not possible. Some scientists do agree, others don't. But for those who don't I would like to see an argument as to how freedom of the will could be even theoretically possible with materialism.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Quote tags come in pairs of [quote] and [ /quote] and you need to put them at the beginning and end of what you want to quote. For instance:
[quote]I've been trying for about 20 minutes now to no avail.[ /quote]
If I removed the space before the "/" in the second quote tag, then it would appear like this:
I've been trying for about 20 minutes now to no avail.
