Homo sapiens is just one of the silly creatures on this silly planet which believes it has free will and thinking capacity. Personally I am against the opinion that we have freewill. Living beings except humans are thought to be having no intelligence. If they don’t have it how can us?
· Ants live in groups. They get milk from so called cows. They have a queen.
· Bees live in colonies. They make perfect hexagonal containers to keep honey.
· Spider makes perfectly symmetrical webs.
· Panda brings logs through rivers to build their house.
Explanation is that they are not thinking but following their instincts (order from DNA).
Should we accept whatever the science books say?
If they are not thinking, are we? Our imagination has boundary. We think only in a certain particular pattern. What we do is just giving out put to the inputs from our surroundings. The ability to produce the output is obtained from the surroundings itself but in the past.
I am not saying that the animals and insects are intelligent but, we are not. The order (which seems to be without order) in which we act is just like the above shown examples from our sisters. Love, grief, thoughts, anxiety, desire, etc are all just creations of situations. We think we have control over them. We don’t. Past experiences+ present situation+ genetic situation= reaction. We are just following certain order. Without free will, without intelligence.
One may say that he can experience thinking. One question is there. Where does a thought come from? What is thought? Just reaction. So we need not proclaim the ability to think as a big matter. Human civilization had an orderly change over time. Nothing could happen outside that order. No divine force interfered, in our changes over time, even in wars. Morality, Religions, Science and all kinds of establishments were set up for the gradual and inevitable changes in society. I am saying everything happened in certain order rather than for a purpose. I frankly say I don’t know anything about everything having a purpose or not. Yet everything had an order and it still has.
What we can conclude is that we are just (not only us) following the order (rule?) of the universe without possessing a free will.

so, You are trying to define man by his actions. I wish to believe in the opposite.
