Free Will Within Nature

The free will conversation can feel like a tug-of-war between determinism and magic. Cosmic Naturalism offers a third path: we are fully natural beings with real capacities for reflection, choice, and responsibility.

Our decisions arise from brains, bodies, and cultures, but they still matter. We can learn, change, and build better futures because we are part of a causal world, not despite it.

That is not worship. It is a grounded respect for what human agency can become when paired with compassion and evidence.
