Write a well-crafted version of the following argument, identifying any equivocations or persuasive definitions: Every action is the result of either physical forces or mental forces, or both. But physical forces are predetermined by the physical state of the world at a given moment and the laws of physics. If we knew enough about the state of things and physics, we should be able to predict future physical action. Similarly, mental forces are predetermined by the mental state of the universe at a given moment and the laws of psychology. If we knew enough about the mental states of minds, and enough psychology, we would be able to predict future mental force. All future forces are thus predictable, and thus so is all future action. Since predictability is just what one means by
predestination, it follows that the future is predestined. What will be an ideal response?
