i remember this post, i had a nice discussion about the illusion of free will on it with some people

Sounds like a conversation I'd like. Although religion would eventually come in and it's too tired for that

well it basically ended with me figuring out how an omnipotent being would view time

LOL how ironic. I meant to say Im too tired or its too late and "its too tired" came out, which proves my point....

Well I'll just say its impossible to have have people with free agency along with a completely omnipotent being

thats actually the conclusion i came too, we dont have free will (i will explain read at your leisure) first off the whole of time happens at once the past is still happening right now as is the future. second thing we have to realize is that at almost if not every single event or "choice" a fracture point occurs now this fracture point spawns every possible outcome of the event in tangent timelines and those timelines each abide by the same rules (all time occurs at once and almost if not every event or "choice" creates a fracture point where all possible outcomes are created in their own seperate timelines) now if we where able to view this continuously than we would gain omnipotence. now the key thing is that if the fracture point idea holds true than we really dont make choices at all because in tangent timelines we have simulataniously done and not done the choice. example say i choose not to sleep at all tonight well in a tangent timeline ive slepted the entire night and i am ready for the day. it boils down to our perception of what timeline we are in.
