Are you kidding me?

That aren't interested in art, aren't interested in literature, aren't interested in the genius of the economy.

I mean, it's just so interesting.

It's just so amazing, actually, how it works.

I don't know how to square that, actually, because that's a specific religious belief.

And there are certain science-based beliefs that purport to rule out.

So I look at it in the other way.

So I talk to a lot of neuroscientists, for example, who truly don't believe in free will.

They don't believe in free will.

And the evidence they have for the nonexistence of free will is there's a lot of actual evidence that when you think you're about to ask me a question,

By the time you make the decision to ask me the question, it's actually already started, which means that it's not really free will, that something is before that.

Yeah, but we'll think about it this way.

You're going to pick up a cookie.

By the time you've decided to pick up the cookie, your hand has already started going toward the cookie.

This is true.

This is actually true.

And so for them, it says there's no such thing as free will.

Well, free will is fundamental to who we are as people made by our creator and making decisions about right and wrong is what it comes down to.

And so they'll use that as evidence.

They'll use that as scientific evidence that rules out the existence of God, a whole area of belief in their lives.
