Actually, neurology and physics work hand in hand to prove that you chose 2, but not indeterministically. Look at it this way. The physics of your brain are governed by definate mathematical laws -- the sum total, which affect neurologic functioning, form the core science of neurology. These laws of physics dictate the interplay of the atoms and forces within your brain. At the quantum scale, randomness can happen, but only probablistically. Since all of these effects are probablistically determinable (that is, computable as probabilities), then you have a finite (if extraordinarily large) choice of quantum states to collapse into. Under the Copenhagen multiple-worlds hypothesis (which so far holds up to all scrutiny and could possibly be considered a theory as such), ALL of these possible quantum states happen. However, your Me(state1) and Me(state2) states can never see each other, so they would each believe they made a choice via free will. Consider this scenario: You lift the gun and aim it at someone, fully intent on killing them. You've already made the decision. Suddenly, an electron-positron virtual pair come into existence in your neural tissue -- the positron annihilates with a real electron, and the virtual electron becomes real, but outside the orbital shell the original was in. It creates a cascade electrical effect that creates the sum-total effect of you lowering the gun and letting your victim get away. Was this free will or was it physics? Physics does not allow for free will. Therefore, there is no free will.

I have found, the more science examines, the more we find God in all things.
All liquid on the planet freezed from the bottom up. Except one. Water. What makes it different? Animals live in it.
A nutritionist once explained to me how science is flawed. A scientist studies data. Data collected by man. Both men are flawed.
So a scientist goes out and studies rabbits in a warren. He also studies nuns in a convent. He studies his data and concludes that the number of rabbits in the warren is directly proportionate to the number of nuns in the convent.
Both growing at a similar rate.
It's silly. As we know that one has nothing to do with the other. But that is science.
That's why one day they say eggs are good. Then they say eggs are bad. Then they say eggs are not THAT bad.
Data. Flawed data.
Someday they'll finally realize milk does NOT do a body good.
Science said angioplasty was good. Weeks ago they told us it was useless.
Data. Flawed data.
The idea that random cells would come together to create life on this planet is about as likely as a tornado picking things up in a junk yard and creating Buckingham Palace.

I don't believe in the Christian God, being Pagan. But I do believe in both science and a God/dess energy. I believe that the Earth Herself is a Goddess, and She creates and regulates everything on Earth. Science is beginning to look into the Gaia Theory (Earth as a living, breathing, sentient being).

Science isn't something that you believe in. Science is demonstrated evidence. It does not require belief.
I accept the truth of science and still believe in God.. It's really not hard at all.

Well God gave us knowledge to know how to do science. True, some things can be proven but science can't explain everything. That's why the theory of evolution is just a theory. Four legs into two legs just doesn't cut it. Nice try though. Better keep up that research.
Couldn't have said it better myself Max Marie. Right on!

Well, considering that science deals in proving things that are true and applying them to real life, and god deals with believing things that can't be proven until you die, I'd go with science on this one. The stuff in the science book can be performed by actual living humans. I have yet to see a human who "says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,'", and it actually happened. But we all know Jesus is not to be taken literally. He only tells the truth when he DOESN'T say "I tell you the truth!".
Prove me wrong christians, all of history is behind me.

I believe in both. There is no law or rule that says that since I'm Catholic, I must forsake science. A lot of medical science breakthroughs have helped me in the past.

I believe in neither science or a defined god. I believe in my own observations and my ability to make deductions. I realise that I will make flawed deductions, but this makes me no different to everybody else.

I Beleive that God created the universe. And let me ask you this, If science was right then how in the world did it end up to be perfect. you know that the universe is infanate. then the chances are real slim because if we were one millimeter of of where we are we would freeze or burn so how can u deny that it was God who did this.

I don't need to "believe in" science - I understand it. It does not require faith.
---
Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
