1. So is your so-called free will predicted with newtonian determinism

or are you a random mash of quantum probabilities?

3. Both. At the same time.

:evilgrin:

Actually I think free will misses the point.

We are merely biological processes. Everything we do is caused by some interaction with matter and energy - and in the end that is all we are changing. At this base level, free will is non-existant - its just subject to the quantum randomness. And this is why life itself is so improbable and yet doing very well here.

God? I don't see any God in this any more than I see the Buddha.

5. What's a membrane got to do with it?

Otherwise I'd agree.

8. Some Quantum Theory states all matter is part of a large membrane

Referred to as the 'brane'
