    I want saying you you but instead the royal you. That’s where a lot of the determinism their cones from. God doesn’t play dice with the universe and all that. Which is entirely taken out of context from Einstein and a lot of people wrongly think Einstein was religious but he wasn’t. Still the quote remains and have kept scientists religious for decades.

      I like Sabine Hossenfelders way of explaining things, she disregards god altogether. It’s not necessary for these explanations.

      I saw some other scientists basically throwing a hissy fit about determinism, and how they wouldn’t get credit for being so smart and making the discoveries and stuff if determinism was true. Like obviously I’m so smart, I’m making hypotheses so I’ve got free will.

      It was utterly embarrassing, I was looking for a legit counter view to see what the other side said. And the first two videos I found were PhDs throwing tantrums on podcasts.

      But to those that believe in a god generally, sure, with our current knowledge anything is a possibility… just some theories have more standing than others… but some also are nicer to believe in, and just make sense for a being to want to believe.
