I've no idea what you are talking about. Unless you are your own expert in ALL fields you have to pick someone to believe- little b, not big B. I will give you an example. If I were having open heart surgery I would look at all the doctors out there. I would want a doctor in good standing in the medical community. I would want a doctor doing a treatment a majority of other doctors believed in. Free will has absolutely nothing to do with this- except that I would be using my free will to make my choice among experts, whatever that choice might be. If you wanted to choose a fringe surgeon using some novel technique that would, of course, be you, exercising your free will. Your novel choice might pan out, even if the majority of the medical community was against it. Or it might not. Whatever you thought we were talking about, we weren't. This is what I was talking about- I've no idea what you were talking about. ps- the debating thing? Not applicable. I've seen debates and this is no debate. From my perspective this is you being unintelligible, and me trying to figure out what you are being unintelligible about. Which, come to think of it, is a waste of my time.
