Can determinism be random?

Theorized in statistical mathematics, the notion of randomness exists as a concept. Such a form of randomness cannot exist in a world governed by determinism under the laws of physics. Determinism can imitate randomness. But quantum physics has proven its effectiveness where the great principles of today have failed.

Is determinism a religion?

Theological determinism exists in a number of religions, including Jainism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is also supported by proponents of Classical pantheism such as the Stoics and Baruch Spinoza.

What is the main argument of determinism against freedom?

The central question is whether determinism is compatible or consistent with free choices and actions, with holding people responsible for and crediting them with responsibility for actions, and with imposing justified punishments on people and rewarding them.

Does Bell’s inequality disprove determinism?

Many site Bell’s theorem as proof QM disproves determinism, but Bell’s theorem is about the immeasurable nature of quantum physics and humans needing to imply hidden variables to deduce attributes of the particle.

Is there anything that can be disproved about determinism?

Determinism is both a metaphysical and scientific paradigm or principle. As a metaphysical paradigm, [Causal] Determinism is not capable of being disproved. As a scientific principle, [Newtonian] Determinism could theoretically be disproved, but has not been — although some people claim that [Newtonian]…

Why doesn’t quantum physics disprove determinism?

Since without locality it becomes impossible to talk about causality, most people prefer not to give it up, and instead give up determinism. Quantum Physics doesn’t disprove determinism. What Quantum Physics does do is significantly complicate the task of arguing for determinism.

Why should we be skeptical of the determinist view of existence?

Determinism itself points to the fact that humans are limited in our view of the universe, flawed at worst. While it is true that for someone to “grasp straws you need straws to grasp”, we must be skeptical of any theory that claims to be able to define existence in its entirety.

Is determinism local or not?

Unfortunately for Einstein, the experiments delivered the seemingly paradoxical result, showing that uncertainty is fundamental and determinism, if true, is not local. (Actually, it even shows that causality is not local.)
