Some things don't mix well

   I don't think a person cannot realistically combine the ideas of determinism and free will. I think this because one cannot freely make a choice if everything that is going to happen is already predetermined. So logically, one would not be able to combine both ideas into one. But then again, since we may not have free will, it could be predetermined that we are not going to think that there can only be one answer, and so we think that they can. If it is predetermined, or if it is the free will to choose so, on one will ever know. It's kind of hard to think about.  But I guess that is where I stand, or where it was determined I stand.
