Freewill or not; a headcount

[Inkfingers]

Well, you don't seem to understand about compatibilist free will. What kind of university is your degree from?

A genuine one.

Compatibilism is an attempt to redefine Freewill (shifting the goalposts) away from "if time could be rewound you could have acted differently" to "if we act from our reason its freewill".

That's simply wrong, as my quote (from Berkhof's Systematic Theology, in support of a Calvinist understanding of compatibilist free will) demonstrates.

You personally might deny free will, but that's going outside mainstream Calvinist/Reformed doctrine.

As I said, compatibilism attempts to redefine Freewill in order to slip past the whole Determinist/Not-determinist argument.

It is a dishonest move to do so.

What about "Other - Undecideded about all options? "

I'll repost here since someone's on right now, because there's freewill threads errywhere

Would determinism mandate a physical cause-effect to cognition? I say this because, as a schizophrenic who has been in a scan-study, there are no markers, physically, that correlate when I am in my fantasy realms. It is unlike dreaming where your brain will be more active in areas such as where you process vision, sound, and even the prefrontal cortex. The activity in my brain is steady-state (relatively, at rest, but awake) between times where I sense that I am in another reality. Does determinism have a cause-effect explanation for this?

Or, as I'm thinking about it, does determinism say that my life's events lead me to the condition? ...but then, when I go in and out is random, and with no marker, so how does that hold?

Or rather, is determinism just a falsification theory of predeterminism in that:

Present, as effect of Past, defines Future as effect from Present and Past.

vs

Past, Present, and Future, as determined by a definition outside of time?

I voted - as requested - what would be closest.
I have never understood how "free will" is even a concept.

Gotta add that I don´t believe that statistics (particular when done with said request) have any benefit.
