Is this a choice? If people in a country can vote for anybody in theory but there is only one name on the ballot paper that they can select, do they have a choice?

Is this a choice? If you are told that you have to eat vegetables today and you have the choice between spinach and cabbage, but you must eat one of them, do you have a choice?

The Free Will Defence Learning Objective: to explore the free will defence for the existence of evil. I can give a definition of the term free will. I can explain how free will can explain the existence of moral evil. I can explain how free will can explain the existence of natural evil.

Free Will Free Will is where humans have the ability to make choices that affect themselves and other people. In order to have free will, we must be able to make a genuine choice.

The Free Will Defence Learning Objective: to explore the free will defence for the existence of evil. I can give a definition of the term free will.

Why did God give us Free Will? Why do you think Free Will is so important to God? God wants people to be free to love him of their own choice, not because they are programmed to. As soon as God starts interfering with the world, he stops us from being free. For people to be free, we have to live in a world that can go wrong. E.g. God cannot stop someone from going to war even if he may want to, if he did it on one occasion he would have to do it on every occasion.

Would you rather? You are going to be given a number of scenarios on the board. In your groups you need to decide whether you think God should interfere in each of these situations or not and keep free will. You are going to be given one minute to decide all 3 in groups.

Interfere or keep free will? – countdown music Two aeroplanes carrying more than 300 people are on a collision course. A famous doctor who is on the brink of producing a cure for all forms of cancer is stabbed by a mugger in a street and is dying. Four million children are facing slow starvation in Africa because they have no food.

The Free Will Defence Learning Objective: to explore the free will defence for the existence of evil. I can give a definition of the term free will. I can explain how free will can explain the existence of moral evil.

Would you like to live in a predictable world? On October 5 th every year in China there is a hurricane. Every week you would know which people would win the lottery. On June 1 st every year in England it will be 30 degrees and sunny.

Free Will and Natural Evil The Free Will defence also allows for natural evils... If we could guarantee that an action would have a specific result, then this would not be real freedom. For example, the reason why millions is spent on the national lottery is because people do not know they are going to lose. It is the unexpected in life that makes people aware of their freedom. If the world is predictable, e.g. A hurricane on the 5 th October every year, it takes away all value from life. For the unexpected to happen, there has to be the chance of total disaster happening as well as total triumph. Freedom means being able to accept the consequences. We have to live in a world where things can and do go wrong in order to be truly free.
