  1. There’s no freedom in a deterministic universe
  2. There’s no freedom in a universe where our actions are random
  3. So why would we have freedom if we combined the two?

It constitutes a genuine faith-based claim to think, given our knowledge of the universe, that we as humans make free choices.
