He said that TPTB could not be in control here because there are too many variables. He thought the very idea was ridiculous. It does not seem like he considered that there might be an organizing principle: advanced supernatural beings of great intelligence and knowledge, placed here by God, to filter His creations.

The other day I was arguing with my wife if bees have free will.

I argued that though simple, they do have a phase of their lives where they fly to forage for pollen and nectar and this phase seems to imply a great degree of choice: choosing flowers, for one.

She pointed out that the true free will is to see a flower and say: "No, I will not take pollen and nectar."

A bee will not do this, so she is probably right: not much free will.

This thought really seems so simple and profound at the same time.

We can and do deny God. God's goal is to create free will beings choosing him under an environment of polarity.
