Free Will

Do you choose how you live?  Or is it an illusion?  I tend to fall into the category of beliving we have free will.  I agree with the physicsists like Anton Zeilinger:

A vote in favor of free will comes from some physicists, who say it is a prerequisite for inventing theories and planning experiments.

That is especially true when it comes to quantum mechanics, the strange paradoxical theory that ascribes a microscopic randomness to the foundation of reality. Anton Zeilinger, a quantum physicist at the University of Vienna, said recently that quantum randomness was “not a proof, just a hint, telling us we have free will.”

But although I think we have free will, I also realize that the Lord directs our steps and sustains us.  Separately I am truly begining to realize that we cannot turn our hair white or black -- but that is another matter.
