Ah, just a clarification from my side: It is not my intention to make any statements about God. Those sentences were more like my attempt to briefly summarize the way the question of Free Will was pondered in Christian Theology and Philosophy in Medieval Times. It is about 20 years since I studied history of philosophy from that era, so I can't remember exact references :(
So, my main point was not to say anything about God, but just to trace how the problem got re-phrased in era of Newtonian science and related philosophy.
My personal opinion is that the notion of Free Will is inadequate to describe The Universe and The Existence. So, I'm not here to prove that there is or that there isn't a free will. I believe the whole problem arises because of applying too simple concepts to describe complex phenomenons. So I briefly try to explore those phenomenons in more detail, hoping that the strict dualism of determinism / freedom starts to blur and fade away the closer we look =)
