Do humans have choice? This an ongoing debate I am dealing with. I believe that humans do not have choice, but cannot seem to fully explain my theory so that people can understand it correctly.

Choice is the act of choosing. To choose is to take by preference which is to reguard something more highly than something else. We create values for different items by basing them upon past experiences of our life. Past experiences are things that have already happened, so if this is the case, choice is predetermined. Thus, every action in life is merely a reaction of a previous action. We are robots out of control.....

"We create values for different items by basing them upon past experiences of our life." is the line in question of my theory. Some people want proof of this, but it seems like common sense to me. How do I better explain this idea?

Perhaps you would like to argue against my theory? Feel free to do so. I love debating such things. I would just like more insight on this because not many people seem to venture out to ideas like this. Just make sure you have logical facts to back up whatever you say as I have.
