Now you can mind dance with me. We dance the tango. I\u2019ll lead.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a big fan of theoretical science. But\u2014and I think the evolution skeptics will agree with me here\u2014the string theory, or M theory (the basis for the flash movie) is just theory. And in fact, I have no qualms with the characteristics of most of the dimensions outlined in the flash presentation or really the notion that there are more than four dimentions. It may be a little tought to conceptualize, but I don’t take much objection.<\/p>\n

This shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone as I\u2019m not a Theoretical Physicist, but something didn\u2019t sit right with me when the movie explained the fifth dimension. According to the String theory, the fifth dimension exhibits all different timelines based on infinite variations of the Big Bang existence. It basically says that there are multiple other worlds in which you and I and everything else range from slightly to totally fuckin’ different\u2014which brings me to free will.<\/p>\n

The question is, \u201cDo we have free will?\u201d And the answer, as I see it, is, \u201cNo.\u201d <\/p>\n

Two twins are separated at birth. They do not know that they are twins. They do not know they are siblings. They live in completely different areas\u2014different cultures. When they are middle aged they meet. It turns out they have strikingly similar characteristics. Their mannerisms are the same. Their taste in women is the same. They like the same books, movies, and cars. <\/p>\n

This has happened. This has happened more than once. And the phenomenon doesn\u2019t just occur with twins, though it is most pronounced with them. They\u2019re so similar that the only way to account for it is to conclude that genetics play a role in our identities. <\/p>\n

The x factor in these twin situations that makes them different at all is environment. There are some environmental factors that inevitably play into a person\u2019s identity. Whether it be a traumatic accident or the death of a loved one or even something as simple as getting coffee in the morning, these thing effect us and the way we act in much the same way our genetics do.<\/p>\n

So if a person\u2019s environmental factors could be understood completely and their genetic factors could be understood completely, then that person\u2019s every action could be predicted and thus free will would become merely an illusion.<\/p>\n

But if everything can be predicted\u2014if we are on this path that is the relationship between genetics and environment\u2014If existence is just, as Modest Mouse Says, a “Math Equation”\u2014then how are their an infinite number of timelines to our existence?<\/p>\n

Now, I used to think that believing that Jesus was the son of god born to a virgin, that he walked on water along with a slew of other unlikely ruckus, then dyed, resurrected, went to hell and then to heaven, was tough to commit to. But Science, well, looks like you\u2019ve outdone god again. <\/p>\n

…dont get me wrong I still take science over jesus Im juts saying’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
