View submission: The difference between causality and determinism
Determinism by itself makes sense and is compatable with free will (to an extant I.E, compatibilism). But hard determinism makes a quantum leap of faith by claiming that everything was pre determined by the big bang. The idea that everything was pre determined by the big bang pre supposes that there is no spiritual realm to life and that everything has been figured out by basic Newtonian physics including the birth of the singularity itself which was infinitely dense and came from nothing.

Not a thing about the difference between determinism and causality. Why do all of the comments here seem to be a deflection away from the Op Ed?

Why would a spiritual realm have any impact on determinism?
Are there no rules for the spiritual realm?
Is there no cause and effect for the spiritual realm?
If there is no cause and effect then how does the decider learn anything?
If they don't learn anything how is the decider considered a sentient agent?
If there is no cause and effect then wouldn't all the deciders decisions be random? That would make all actions independent.
If the decider is just random can we consider that a thinking agent?
