Determined

By DissentOfMan ~

Since becoming an exchristian thirteen years ago I've searched for answers to make sense of things. Mostly, searching for answers pertaining to why we are the way we are, why we behave/believe the way we do? I believe I've found the answers in determinism. What convinced me was the book Determined: A Science Of Life Without Free Will: by scientist and author, Robert Sapolsky. Here are some quotes from him.
"All we are is the end product of what came before".
"If you really believe this stuff, and take it to it's logical conclusions, were nothing more than the biology and environment over which we had no control."
"If you really believe that, blame and punishment never make any sense, either intellectually or ethically."
"Likewise praise and reward never make any sense, and those are the logical conclusions that come from this".
How could we possibly have free will? Here is a video of him explaining in great detail the contents of his book. There are many interviews on YouTube. I personally believe, that this is THE answer of all answers I've found so far in my search for truth.
