SummarySummary
[ edit ]

We can't "demonstrate" the existence of freedom. We can only wager that freedom makes sense, that it underpins morality and is implied in our actions. Freedom is an unprovable wager. But once this wager has been made, we are led to postulate the existence of God, because only God can guarantee this faculty.
