The determinism vs indeterminism argument is interesting especially from a Christian perspective. This is a very old discussion that has been gone over by the millions of words. God draws the elect unto the Lord Jesus Christ. There salvation is through grace rather than merit; that is no act of will or self-determination by a human gts himself saved. So the paradox of salvation by election of God- he will save those whom he will and how can mankind object since man is the pot and God is the potter.;some he makes for salvation, others for destruction etc. In quantum physics too there are many levels for simultaneous determinism and indeterminis as there is in behavorial psychology (ref BF Skinner). It seems there are necessary levels of protocol of contingent free will and automatic will existing simulatneously. It exists in human thought, quantum mechanical relationships and field phenomena and even in theology since God does hold people accountable for their actions.
