We are free to choose what we will and pick and choose our acts. We are not

free to choose the consequences. They come as they will come.

Born free as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows.

Through Adam and his partaking of the forbidden fruit,

knowledge of good and evil was introduced into the world.

Their choice made it possible for each of us to come to this earth and be tried and tested. We are blessed with agency, which is our ability to make

decisions and to become accountable for those decisions.

The fall made possible in our lives feelings of both happiness and sadness. My dear brothers and sisters each day is a day of decision.

President Thomas S. Monson has taught us that decisions determine destiny.

The wise use of your freedom to make your own decisions is crucial to your spiritual growth now and for eternity. You are never too young

to learn, never too old to change. Your yearnings to learn and change come from a divinely instilled striving for

eternal progression. Each day brings opportunity for decisions for eternity.

Oh, it's in my throat.

This is infants on throne. This is infants on thrones. The philosophies of men beingled with humans.

We are the core.

I want to speak today about a far more sensitive subject and it is in fact sensitive

to many atheists and that's the illusion of free will.

Welcome back to Infants on Thrones.

I'm Glenn Osland and the voice you just heard is Sam Harris.

So much of human life seems to depend on our viewing one another as conscious agents capable of free choice.

Now I hope to do two things in this talk.

I hope to convince you that free will is an illusion.
