You continue to refute yourself, but you can't help it because you have no free will.

Oh, how ever so clever of you!!

Rather than attempting to be clever, I simply illustrated the absolute absurdity of your self-refuting belief. But you missed it. Or did you? So tell us all, do you hold to the self-refuting belief that there is no free will because you think it is true or because you must in order to be consistent with evolution?

I guess you didn't comprehend what I've clearly posted above in plain English. My conclusion is that free will exists and that gods do not. I don't hold either belief "in order to" be consistent with evolution, even though both are.

The absence of free will alongside existence of gods would also be perfectly consistent with evolution (a preordained universe). So would the absence of free will with nonexistence of gods (a self-contained deterministic universe). So would the presence of free will alongside the existence of gods (an indeterminate universe).

None of the above are even remotely inconsistent with evolution, so evolution obviously does not predicate my conclusion regarding them.
