shoudl this be true, it paints human existence in a poor light, it removes the concept of free will, removes the idea of us being in control of our own lives in any sense.
unfortunately there is evidence that this suggestion might be the case.
fortunately, the evidence is scant and it isnt clear if the interpretation of the evidence is accurate. hope it isnt! |
