Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

And the way you know that everything is predetermined is?

There is NO way. You are just flapping your gums to give your religious 
opinion. I can say that tomorrow I will make a decision NOT 
predetermined by all previous experience (or some set mechanical future) 
and will choose the opposite of what I was inclined to do, and then you 
will say but even your idea to decide the opposite way was preordained 
by everything that happened to that point. So who is correct? Nobody can 
tell, which is why you are just selling your religious beliefs here and 
calling ti science.

We simply prefer the LeastBad "option",

No Rolf, YOU are the one worshiping ignorance. I keep telling you that 
science is NOT religion but all you do is try to tell me what I 
"believe" and then repeat your own religious dogma over and over as if 
that proves something. Thumping your bible proves nothing.

And I say I can choose to do the opposite of what I prefer. And you 
can't prove me wrong. All you can do is just stand their Screaming you 
are right like baby Nads.

> General Relativity's four dimensional TimeScape is static, eternal,
> perfectly causal... it is, at once, everything _and_ nothing.

This is wrong from the very start, Rolf. Space-time is NOT static. It 
can't be static because it warps due to the presence of mass and because 
mass is not static neither can be space-time (to use that bogus theory).

And as for "eternal" You have NO way of knowing that. It is simply your 
religious belief. Now as for "causal" the theory certainly is causal. 
But that is no proof that EVERYTHING in the universe is causal. MUCH in 
the universe and in science is causal. It's what makes science work!

A "true" timescape, on the other hand, would be called "time-space" and 
it would consist of a hyper-dimensional matrix sometimes referred to as 
the "multiverses". It contains ALL acts it is possible to perpetrate in 
the universe. One could speculate such a timescape is static, eternal, 
and perfectly causal. But human experience is none of those things 
because it is produced by the passage of consciousness in a path through 
that multi-dimensional timescape. The kicker here is that when those 
paths are left to their own devices they coast forward according to 
Newton's laws. That is called the "most probable future", but there is 
an additional law which says that the path can be altered by a "force" 
which in this case is will. That deflects the most probable path and 
changes what one experiences as the "future".

You listening, Rolf? I didn't think so.

There is no Time dimension outside of (4-D) SpaceTime.

You can ( and do ) invent dimensions all day long,
-- for cuteness, gender, skin color, autism, etc.;
but none of them have anything to do with physical reality.

You (Ben) worship ignorance, a.k.a. the "multiverse".

One way to deal with the "we don't have free will" folks is to believe 
them.

Therefore, Jeff is nothing more than a philosophical zombie -- and he 
doesn't even know it, because he doesn't know what it is like to be 
conscious with free will.

If you have to ask that question, then you don't have it.

I would leave it at that, but perhaps you are making a serious inquiry.  
In that case, I suggest you consider points made by some modern 
philosophers.

This is very much wrapped up in the "hard" problem of consciousness, and 
without an appreciation of that, you can find yourself stuck in long-
refuted 19th century determinism.

One point is that the universe has already demonstrated it has non-
deterministic processes, so there is the very real possibility that 
consciousness is also non-deterministic.

Another one is that if free will is an illusion[*], it's very hard to 
shake off.

If these ideas truly interest you, I suggest watching Dr. Searle's Google 
talk, found here:

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCyKNtocdZE

Good luck, and may the force be with you.

"refuted" by whom, the Pope ?

Everyone avoids the truth, to some extent;
we assert _useful_ premises, irregardless of the truth;
hence ego, online gaming and religion.

Einstein, on the other hand, loved the truth, more than most.
To his death, he kept telling us: free will is an illusion.

All of history, every lesson ever, every advance, tells me ( not you ):

  Randomness is ignorance, nothing more;
  otherwise, there'd be NO TRUTH, nothing for me to aspire to.

> If you don't experience your will as being free,

_Everyone_ is enslaved, there is no free will.
We simply prefer the LeastBad "option",
and we can't change what we prefer.

How and What we consume is what makes us different.

At the start, there was no entropy, just infinite eXergy/density. 
[ eXergy is a type of energy that can do physical work, force * distance ]
And, because " Time == Entropy ", there was no time on the clock then.

Eventually, this eXergy will be consumed away, replaced with entropy;
leaving us with a uniform heat bath that has all of the energy
but none of the eXergy.  Gravity is the "memory" of where the stuff was.

General Relativity's four dimensional TimeScape is static, eternal, 
perfectly causal... it is, at once, everything _and_ nothing.
