I am very comfortable with the idea that we can override biology with free will.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Genetics play a huge part in who we are. But we also have free will.
As we decipher our biology and learn to modify and adjust it, we are learning to modify ourselves - and we will do so. No laws will stop this.
In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.
It must be possible to solve the task of controlling nature and yet simultaneously create a new freedom.
We have to accept that we are just machines. That's certainly what modern molecular biology says about us.
We have to believe in free-will. We've got no choice.
God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.
Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.
God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminal - there's no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause.
I believe God controls the universe. I don't believe biology works in an uncontrolled fashion.
