There is something in what determinists say, but they are way short of the mark in their assessment of how things work. Epigenetics is a process by which genetic effects are modified by the environment. The Human genome project demonstrated that we have far fewer genes than was estimated and that individual genes are not necessarily transcribed and translated in every circumstance. Furthermore determinism only works on a statistical level rather than an individual level. There are multiple influences on history including incivicual will. Even had you all the facts you could never predict the result of a football match.Terry Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346629921055055879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-23744540644193916562011-05-19T23:39:54.611+01:002011-05-19T23:39:54.611+01:00I always enjoy your aphorisms.

And that we are therefore without free will.Burkenoreply@blogger.com
