It's all a matter of the mechanism, the method of action. You guys are half-way there, but so are most people.
Feel free to elaborate, Can-ned.
From a purely physical point of view, a thought, as I understand, is the result of electrical/chemical neural activity and that activity is part of a longer chain reaction. From this point of view free will and choice are not what they appear to be but rather the result of prior chemical changes. We perform an action or have a thought unwittingly and then claim credit for it.
That's all fine and dandy but chain reactions like that have a starting point and starting point has to come from somewhere. It could be that order and determinism are temporary....
Some folks cry God at this point and abandon the problem altogether but even if you make that argument it bites you in the ass again when you ask what made this god.
I find the idea a chaos appealing even though it doesn't give any insight into an orign.
