20 Oct 2025
Did you choose to listen to this episode today — or was it destined? Was it written for you by God, predetermined by the laws of physics, or set in motion by events stretching back to the Big Bang? In this episode, we discuss bioscientific and Islamic views on free will and human agency. Dr. Aasim Padela speaks with leading experts about: ● Genetic predispositions and how they shape human behavior ● Whether humans have choice and agency or are constrained by biology and circumstance ● How beliefs about free will (or lack of it) affect views on morality and justice Through real-world cases and deep reflection, we’ll investigate how science, religion, and ethics intersect in answering one of humanity’s oldest questions: Do we have free will?
