I beleive that yes, it does, as it can be easily manipulated to take responsibility for traumatic events.  Theodore Sider poses that  'you are kidnapped and forced to commit a series of terrible murders', whilst you survive after the murders. He also states that 'you have an unassailable excuse: you did not act of your own free will.' yet, if our fates were truly determined, then there is no way to modify or change them so they should still have moral responsibility for those people's deaths; you were the person who killed them, even if you had no other option. Again, our ability to overlook our flaws highlights how society struggles to take any form of moral responsibility.

By leaning towards the belief of free-will; instead of having a mindset that everything is pre-determined and set in stone, free will presents us with the capacity to make decisions or perform actions independently of any prior event or state of the universe. This exercise of free will in the past becomes our fate in the present; thus, we can change our fates, and every decision we make wether it be consciously or subconsciously still attributes to how WE take control of our lives.

We might believe in determinism because we all believe in causes and as per the example given in the book we won’t accept that fact that there is no cause.

We might not be able to solve this conflict in our lifetime but could think about how we would have lived our lives if determinism hadn’t become an idea.

We can continue thinking that we do somehow have free will, or at least a free won’t that can alter a pre-determined event until we can change these ideas into science fact that has stronger proof and evidence behind it. Or if we would rather have a quicker resolution, we could reject either determinism or free-will and live in the idea that one never existed.

Theodore Sider stated that that ‘our belief in determinism science exceeds again and again, in its search of underlying causes of things’. But why are we in search of the underlying causes of things? Perhaps because, we, as humans, have a need to understand things – things which we turn to science to discover. Perhaps because we are afraid of the unknown – to the point were anybody could spew a fact to support an action of event, but if further questioned on this fact, they might struggle to explain what it means. And now, there is so much information overload that it has led to a decline in intellectual curiosity that we see very commonly today.

To an extent – Sider remarks that determinism threatens moral responsibility as determinism poses the belief the ‘we cannot be held morally responsible for actions that we have no control of’. Opposingly, Theodore uses the dilemma of being kidnapped and forced to commit to a number of crimes (key word, forced) and constitutes if the person held captive is moral responsible for his crimes. He states that the person has an ‘unassailable exuse: [they] did not act out of [their] own free will’, and that ‘only those who act freely are morally responsible’.
