Knowing a lot has little to do with thinking well.

Truly. IQ equates to knowledge on only the shallowest level. Knowledge comes from reading, experience, etc. I know many people that know next to nothing about (respectively) music, plays, literature, trivia, and clams...and some of them are smart.

Some scientists accept the premise that "all things are a reaction to stimuli",
Of course Newton accepted as a premise that "each action results in an opposite and equal reaction". Taken to the final degree this would indicate that all things are predetermined from the beginning of time. I have heard that some have proposed that free will can coexist with determinism (i.e. no random component to the universe). Can you elaborate on this synthesis?
