Sorry.

I spent 3 years gaining a degree in Philosophy & 2 years doing Religious Studies before that (interesting move for an atheist), and therefore have no intention of agreeing with anybody about anything.

:evilgrin:

"Observation of man confirms that man is a conscious being with free will."

Define "conscious" for me.......I just might be willing to concede that human beings are conscious, but only once I know what you mean by the term and also how you're going to use it.

"Free Will"? Free Will is a tricky one - intuitively I want to agree that we have Free Will, but on the other hand it's very hard to explain how that would work. If behaviour isn't caused in some way, then it's random/not based on anything, and random behaviour isn't free.....

But anyway........for the sake of argument, let's pretend that I agree with you....

Where are you going with this? And how can you assert "Those claims are not as valid as anyone else's. " with a straight face?
