Free Will and Determinsim

"Determinism holds that every thing and event is a natural and integral part of the interconnected universe. From the perspective of determinism, every event in nature is the result of (determined by) prior/coexisting events. Every event is a confluence of influences... humans [are] as "one with" the unfolding matrix of the natural universe... [while] supernaturalism and fatalism regard humans as existing outside of this system." (Miller, June 2001)

"Is art imitating life, or is life imitating art?"
