If people are "biomachines" and every action that we make is determined by physical law (quauntum mechanics is still physical law) then how can we have free choice?
If we don't have free choice then what's the value of any scientific theory or philosophical argument - the person that said it was "forced" to say what they said, so it should have no more credability than someone saying that the world was flat with a gun to there head.
And if we do have free choice then doesn't it mean that there's somekind of metaphysical or spiritual thing that makes it work?
Thanks.
