FREE WILL
DARIO FERNANDO GUAMAN LOZADA
he biggest existing paradigm, is the
universe and its creation, which has
been leading an ongoing debate between two great
faiths, the first related to religion and those who
believe that an omnipotent Entity created life and
man, and the second by science, since Einstein's
equations could show that the universe is
constantly expanding.
the future, according to religion can be summarized
in a few words "God has full control on what can be
done," according to the Bible, a man is defined as a
creature made in God's image. then the man as the
image of God has free will.
but it seems that there are well-defined laws that
determine the evolution of the universe from its
initial state, these law may have been ordered by
God, although it is considered that he doesn't
intervene to transgress.
God may have chosen the configuration of the
universe, or this has been determinate itself by the
laws of science. However, Seems that everythingthat contains the universe would be determined by
evolution according to the laws of science. So it's
hard understand how we can be owners of our
destiny.
But if everything is determined by the laws of
science, then free will has to be an illusion.
We don't punish those who commit crimes when
they are crazy, because we believe they couldn't
avoid them. But if we are determined by a grand
theory, no one can avoid what we do. then how
blame someone of what he has done?.
Some people believe that are Jesus Christ, and can
be right. What we need is proof that we can apply
from outside, to distinguish if have free will.
Suppose, for example, we look a little green man
from another star. How we can to decide if he has
free will or was just a robot programmed like us?
This seems proof of free will, is possible to predict
the behavior of the organism? If so, doesn't have
free will and is predetermined, but, if isn't possible
to predict his behavior, the organism has free will.
Once that we can find a complete theory, we can
predict what people will do. But the human brain is
also subject to the indeterminacy principle. We
already know the basic physical laws that govern

brain activity and are comparatively simple, but it
is quite difficult to solve equations when there are
more than a few particles. The human brain
contains one hundred quadrillion, which is
excessive, we are unable to resolve the equations
and predict how they behave, given its initial state.
Although we know the fundamental equations
governing the brain, we are unable to use them to
predict human behavior.
So all we can do, is determined by some grand
theory. If this theory has decided that somebody
will die hanged, won't died drowning. Has been
noted that even those who claim everything is
predestined and nothing can done to change it, look
before crossing the street. Perhaps because those
who do not look do not survive for tell us.
is impossible to base the people's behavior in theidea that everything is determined, because we
ignore what has been determined. On the contrary,
we have to adopt the theory of that we have free
will and we are responsible for our actions. This
theory is not useful to predicting human behavior,
but we adopted because we are unable to solve the
equations arising from the fundamental laws.
So, what left of our responsibility for the actions
taken, if everything is determined? The only
evidence that we have free will is that we can't
predict our behavior. In the case of humans are
entirely unable to use the laws to say what people
will do. Accordingly, and as there isn't way to
predict the human behavior, we have to adopt the
operational theory that we are free agents able to
choose what we do.
