Book excerpt: Since the day we are born, we are bombarded with the contradictory claims that our lives are predestined and that Fate deals us the cards we must play, or that our lives are the results of our choices and that we shape it as we go along. Destiny vs. Choice examines the philosophical, spiritual, and scientific evidence for both claims, and shows us how we can live better, more fulfilling lives no matter which side ultimately "wins" the debate. Destiny Vs. Choice explores: The historical battle between Fate and free will. Intelligent design, evolution, the Big Bang, and DNA as blueprints for life. The Law of Attraction, intention, and consciousness as ways to create reality. How quantum physics offers evidence for both destiny and choice. Fate and the paranormal: ghosts, life-after-death experiences, and astrology.
