Not such a paradox. If we didn't have free will, where would the guilt from sin come from?

BTW Darwinists claim free will is an illusion:

"Evolution: Free will and punishment and meaning in life" (Abstract)

Feb. 12, 1998


Naturalistic evolution has clear consequences that Charles Darwin understood perfectly. 1) No gods worth having exist; 2) no life after death exists; 3) no ultimate foundation for ethics exists; 4) no ultimate meaning in life exists; and 5) human free will is nonexistent.
