自由意志是否存在?
Moses, Jesus,and an old man with a big beard were playing golf.
Moses hit a long shot. The ball landed in the fairway and rolled straight into the pond, where Moses lifted his club to separate the water. Therefore, the ball rolled safely to the other side.
Jesus also toward to the pond to a long hit. The ball flew toward the centre of the pond and it was about to fall into the pond, and suddenly hovered on the water. Then Jesus walked unhurriedly to the pond and a chip sent it to the green.
The bearded old man with a mysterious identity was swinging. The path of his ball was extremely torturous. The ball hit the fence and bounced off the road outside. At that time, the truck drove over and hit the ball back to the fairway. The ball went straight to the pond and fell on the water lily leaf. Then a frog saw it and bit it. Then an eagle swooped down, grabbed the frog and flew into the distance. When the eagle swept the green, the frog spit the ball. And then the ball fell directly into the hole.
Moses turned to Jesus and said, “I hated playing with your father.”
当上帝挥杆打球时,出现了很多要素——卡车司机、青蛙、老鹰,他们也许认为自己做的每件事情都是出于自己的选择。
卡车为什么开过?卡车司机就是出于恰好那个时间点要送货的需要,于是就开过来了。他怎么会想到自己是上帝玩高尔夫时的一枚棋子,是为了开过卡车从而帮助上帝把这个球弹回去;青蛙如果能说话的话,也许会说,“我看到球,以为这是个虫,我一口把它咬住了,当我被应抓住后我发现这是一个球于是才松口。” 青蛙自己可能很难想象到自己的存在不过也是个棋子;同样当老鹰看到青蛙了,心想我要吃青蛙,出于我自己的需要把青蛙叼起来了,谁知顺便帮助上帝运球,做了上帝的一枚棋子。
如果把这里的上帝换成 自然规律,或者是某种宇宙当中的力量,那有没有可能我们都像卡车司机、青蛙、老鹰一样自以为的选择,不过是一个硕大无比的宇宙系统当中的一些被摆弄的棋子?
