The Illusion of Free Will Determinism, DNA, and the Bible

Does absolute free will actually exist, or is it an illusion fed by human pride? In this deep dive Bible study, Christopher Enoch explores the controversial topic of determinism. From the physics of time to a shocking 2011 study on parole board judges, we examine the overwhelming evidence that our choices are the result of a complex chain of determining factors. We also look at what the Bible says about DNA, bloodlines, and God hardening hearts.
