Think Wink.

I took the title of this post from the movie The Ghost and the Darkness, the movie starring Val Kilmore and Michael Douglas about the true story in Africa and the man-eating Tsavo lions that wreaked havoc upon a rail line being built through Tsavo. I remember the line from one of the final scenes where Val is firing his rifle in anticipation of one final conflict with the two lions. As he fires his rifle into the air repeatedly his African friend asks him what is he doing. To which Val replies, “I’m sorting it out!”

I really enjoyed that movie but I’m not sure if the movie has anything to do with what I’m going to think out loud upon, namely the issue of Free Will. Over at Theology for the Masses, Honzo wrote the following post entitled I just don’t get Calvinists. There he wrestles with the compatablist view of free will that Calvinism holds to. This that I’m writing post is not meant to be some deep theological answer or philosophical response to his post. Rather I’m just thinking out loud. Read more
