You seem to be under the impression that I am using dubious tactics to pull the wool over people's eyes in order to promote something which is not true.
But you could not be more wrong.
I am simply trying to illustrate what to me is the blindingly obvious truth that we have conscious awareness and free will which will never be explained by the deterministic chemical activity in our physical brains. And this is not the prop on which my Christian faith depends, because I am in a deep relationship with God which no amount of scientific theory can ever take away. What I am trying to do is to remove one of the props which many of my atheist friends use to deny God's existence, which is the assumption that science can or will explain everything without the need for God.
It may be "blindingly obvious" to you but nevertheless remains a typically unsupported and unsubstantiated article of faith that we have free will.
I challenge you to find someone - anyone - who holds that science already can or will in the future explain absolutely everything. Since nobody has done so, this is - unsurprisingly - a strawman on your part.
And, incidentally, has zero to do with disbelief in gods, which at least in my case is founded upon the lack of a coherent definition of the same, the absence of evidence thereof, and the utterly brain-bending awfulness and fallaciousness of the arguments advanced by believers such as yourself. Let's face it Alan, you come on here most days, spout the same gibberish every time, get spanked six ways from Sunday, intellectually speaking, by people who know what they're talking about, you consistently ignore criticism, critique, challenge and question in favour of your pre-prepared script of the same old fallacy-riddled pious hopes and bald assertions ... it's a dismal spectacle.
