DETERMINISM

I believe that each human is endowed with free will but not complete free will. the environment and our nature and DNA greatly place limitations and possibilities on our actions. there is no free will, because if there were complete free will, that would mean that a human could fly in the air if he or her so chose to. on the other hand our DNA greatly affects our abilities. an example or this is Michael Phelps. Some say he was created with a perfect body for swimming. did he not win eight gold medals for swimming events at the Olympics? having the perfect swimming body helped him achieve that goal. there are also people who are disabled. they have a disability which impedes them from doing certain tasks that others may be able to do. the environment has some aspects in which we have no control yet it affects us.
