Adam-Eve-Free-Will-and-Determinism
*This video was originally uploaded to YouTube on 12/3/2009. This is the audio version.*
For anyone who's seen my last video, Free Will And Determinism, you've got a pretty good idea of where I'm coming from in terms of belief in Free Will that at this point, I don't see a reason to believe we have Free Will. With this in mind, I was asked by Silvermage87, in a response to my video on the immorality of Hell, as to whether or not I believe Adam and Eve had Free Will in the Garden of Eden.
I had written a couple posts in my old blog about whether or not I thought God was justified in punishing Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit, but I had not fully considered whether or not I believed they had Free Will in order to choose whether or not to eat it.
I think it is an interesting question, and I could approach it from one of two perspectives. First, is from a Biblical, or Christian, perspective. In light of what the Bible teaches, and whether Free Will is an option in that case. Then, secondly, from a naturalistic perspective.
Its important to keep in mind, though, that I don't believe the account in Genesis is true, and I don't believe it to be historical in any way. I am speaking, in this case, in entirely hypothetical terms.
