Mirsad, Bill, and Mark discuss how free will and fate relate to neuroscience, computer science, and religion. What is the self (or soul) that chooses? Is it conscious or subconscious? Does God or Allah know and control our fate, according to Christianity and Islam? If there is ultimately no god or self, according to Buddhism, then does karma produce our fate? Can we still have a choice in how to act, to be good or bad, if Allah, God, or karma is all-powerful? How does that relate also to predictive computer modeling and "emergent properties" in complex adaptive systems?
