Question for you: if everything is caused by a previous event, how is free will possible?
Pretty simple, really. "Free Will" is a term I admit to, for the sake of those who would have "spiritual indigestion" if I did not, that simply means we do indeed have real, responsible, choice that brings consequences and even eternal effects. ("Free Will" is not a term the Bible uses except in one instance, where it is used to describe an offering that one is not obligated to make. It does however make use of the word, "predestination", in multiple passages where the meaning is exactly what it says.)
Question for you: if Free Will, or even simply choice, demands options that are equally able to be chosen, why is it that only one is ever chosen? (Engineering calls this hysteresis, lol.) Of course, it is ludicrous to suggest that two or more mutually exclusive choices could be chosen simultaneously, which is kinda my point. Only the one chosen had more influence, or stronger cause, than the other(s). Make it as fine a line as you wish, the principle still pervades.
