Does Free Will Really Exist?

Free will is a concept that people have always taken for granted, and for good reason.

Every day, in every way, people are making decisions, big and small.

Everything from choosing what to eat for breakfast, deciding who to marry, where to work, or how to pass the time on the weekend, is a decision made from a series of choices that are available to us at the time.

However, some scientists believe that free will doesn’t exist.

In fact, some scientists consider the belief in free will to be “illogical, incoherent nonsense”.

So, where does that leave humanity?

Does free will really exist?

Or are we fooling ourselves into thinking that we have a choice over anything?

In today’s episode, Ellie begins with the scientist who claims free will is an illusion and compares his view to other scientific disciplines, ancient wisdoms, religions, the esoteric and the paranormal.

As it happens, the most logical, coherent and sensible explanation of free will doesn’t come from science.

It comes from the paranormal.
