In natural life, what is free choice? For example, there is the seed of a tree containing a genetic code that activates itself when the requirements and conditions for growth are met—soil, water, heat, light, air. The seed contains all of the tree’s information, which is deployed at the right time. Now what choice does the tree have? To be a tree or to not be a tree… ? A tree is always a tree, not a bee or a bird. In whatever form or shape the tree comes, it is dependent upon genetic code and environmental conditions.
