So what does your definition of God, or a god, entail?Precognition, time travel into the past or future, are in the realm of scifi imagination. Regardless of arguments provided by philosophers, the ability to know the future is nonsense. Time goes in one direction period, that is reality. And regardless of how much some religious scholars twist and spin scripture otherwise, there is much in the Bible OT that shows God changes his mind. Further why would God even if he could, want to create a universe where all is known? How utterly boring. Oh yeah now I recall why...philosophers in the Middle Ages like a bull dog with a bone decided for the rest of us from most vague Bible scripture that God had to be omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence lest it not really be a god.
what do scientists think about fate and destiny
if scientists think free will is an illusion
because
scientists say there is no scientific evidence for free will
why do you think that?I would think fate is self made in the scientists view. ie: self fulfilling prophecies and such. You believed it therefore you created it yourself.

Special relativity implies a "block theory" of time, i.e. the future is 100% determined.
The Bob Doyle (information philosopher) calls it an 'unacceptable conclusion'...See here for a fairly simple discussion.

It seems reasonable to me too - whether QM is deterministic or not seems irrelevant. But special relativity may not be the whole story.So he does, but the argument seems pretty solid to me.
The future must be fixed, because special relativity tells us that for some observers, it is already the past.
your welcomeThank you.
I would imagine if scientists can't see it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it, quantify it, repeat it, or make a mistake with it, it doesn't exist.what do scientists think about fate and destiny
I imagine you'd be wrong.I would imagine if scientists can't see it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it, quantify it, repeat it, or make a mistake with it, it doesn't exist.
I would too.I imagine you'd be wrong.
It's interesting hard determinism is a belief held by some varieties of materialist atheists and some Fundamentalist Christians, (varieties of Calvinists).I would imagine if scientists can't see it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it, quantify it, repeat it, or make a mistake with it, it doesn't exist.
I think they don't know what consciousness is, but they know brain function is necessary to generate it. Therefore, they assume it emerges from brain function. This is true, I suppose, as far as it goes.Other scientists are atheist and they believe everything is a chemical reaction.
