Ultimately, it is a spiritual question of how one views life and treats life.

Yes, it is. Determinism is a belief. There is no scientific basis for it. Believe what you choose to believe.

Do you find it rather odd that these same deterministic scientists award themselves Nobel Prizes for their achievements? Examine the hypocrisy of thei...

The purpose of life is precisely this thread,: to create, to explore, to share, to enjoy.

They are the same. Life isn't really that complicated. People enjoy having fun and maybe a good laugh now and then.

Of course one does. Every skill requires study. There are differences of course, but the process of gradual accumulation of knowledge is the same.
