Does destiny decide everything?

Is everything already decided? – Quora. Yes. Each and every living and dead creature has a destiny. Every action is pre programmed.

What is the use of understanding fate and freewill?

To make good decisions, you need to understand the difference between fate and free will. Life is a delicate balance between the two. Fate brings you opportunities, and free will determines whether or not you take them. Fate is the destiny that is pre-planned for you, but it’s up to you to do something with it.

Do we really have free will?

If we really can choose, then these choices must be uncaused — something that cannot be explained within the model of science that many of us rely on. There is no consensus within psychology as to whether we really do have free will — although much of our field seems to assume that we don’t.

Is free will threatened by science?

New “threats” to the possibility of free will have come from fields such as neuroscience and genetics. Many neuroscientists, armed with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other brain scanning tools, argue that, now that we can peer into the brain, we can see that there is no “agent” there making choices.

Why is the free will issue so thorny?

The free will issue is especially thorny because it represents a collision between two opposing, yet equally valid, perspectives. From a purely metaphysical perspective, if we don’t have free will, why are we here? What is the point of life if we cannot choose our own paths?

Is free will real or an illusion?

Free will is an illusion. Our wills are simply not of our own making. Thoughts and intentions emerge from background causes of which we are unaware and over which we exert no conscious control. We do not have the freedom we think we have. And, as uncomfortable as this may be, it’s very much consistent with neuroscientific research.
