As far as the case against free will is concerned I truly believe that human beings have no free will at all. I believe that our free will totally lies in the hands of God. Our lives have already pre determined which means God has already set out the course for our lives granted we do his will. We are powerless to change or to alter any thing; events will still unfold in the way they were meant to no matter what we do about it which is what is known as fatalism. People who disagree with these theories will probably say that we have free will as humans and our fate totally lies in our own hands, they would also argue that saying that we do not have free will is just trying to find an excuse for the poor decisions that we make. As far as our destiny is concerned we as humans can only control very little, whenever we make plans for the future there’s really no guarantee as to whether what we have planned for the future is really going to happen. How many times in our lives do we make plans to the best of ability using our free will, which is just basically the best judgment at particular moment, some things will just not happen no matter what we do about it, it is just a fact we cant run away from.
All this goes back to the same thing, if you try to explain this from a Christian point of view, God creates plan for each life, from the time you are formed in your Mothers womb God knows everything about you and your life he already has everything planned out. Our free will as humans only goes as far as us making what seems to be best decision at any given moment, then again that decision we make may not have the outcome we were hoping for. Either way no matter what we do Fate will always catch up with us and events will turn to unfold in the way in which they were meant to unfold. There is no one out there who can say that they planned everything that has happened to them from the time they were born to this day. Our fate lies in the hands of God and we can only hope that whatever plans he has for our lives are good.
