Dawkins & The Destruction Of Free-Will

[MindOverMatter]

I have two questions for everyone.

1. Does abosolute Naturalism neccesarilly lead to the removal of freewill? Does it lead to abosolute Determinism?
2. Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to suppose that the “personal will” of a human being (Though personal desire is evidently applied through a physical process) is not synonymous with physical reality, and is foundationally “immaterial” in nature; considering that physical objects only move when cause by another force or object? Doesn’t the reality of freewill seriously undermine materialism?

Huh? Incomprehensible to me!

Do you mean that evolution theory obviates free will? The answer, in case that is your question, is that it doesn’t at all. In fact, evolution theory isn’t interested in free will in the same way it isn’t interested in God.
