I recently finished watching Waking Life for the 8th or 9th time and as always was deeply intrigued by the discussion involving free will.

On one hand, if God knows everything that is going to happen then where do we get off thinking that we can chose our own path?

On the other, we know that all physical systems are governed by basic physical laws. Even if we "choose" to lift our arm, that entire process is governed by chemical, electrical and physical laws. So it seems that the Big Bang set up the initial conditions and the rest of history is just the playing out of these various subatomic particles.

Either way, there isn't much room left for free will. I look forward to reading your input.
