His opinion concerning freedom vs. free will seems potentially incorrect. Either all of existence is made up of matter going through a cause and reaction process, or it isn't. Reaction to sound waves emanating from another body may not be an act of freedom because the sound waves were caused by prior atomic interaction. As the waves move through the air, they interact. And when the waves hit the ear, they set in motion more interaction within the receiving body. We know so little about reality. It may be possible that each and every atom is a living being, and we're the manifestation of a collective decision to exist in unity. Maybe they exist in an entire universe of their own, and we are a result of their advancement and search for answers. It seems reasonable to assume that there is as high a probability that free will does exist. Just as much as the possibility exists, that as it doesn't. The physical universe may be only a spec in the scheme of things. Obviously, the discovery of physics didn't bring physics into existence. It only uncovered it. The same could be said for a possible endless number of things yet found.,(reply>), How people take Greene seriously is beyond me. Anyone who thinks the creation of the universe and life starting happened on their own are just clueless no matter what their title or fame. <br><br>The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.
