Description

When I think about the future, my thoughts are inevitably drawn toward the old destiny versus freewill argument. Is the future really the outcome of our conscious choices or just the results of subatomic coin tosses in the chemistries of our brains? Are we cutting or tying the strings of fate by learning to manipulate those coins? This was my entry for the last IRTC round, topic - future. The puppets are Poser mannequins converted to pov format with Poseray. Everything else made with Povray, no postwork. All comments, criticism and advice are welcome.

Very well represented. I personaly believe there are pre-set routes and we chose between them. I dont believe steping on an ant effects the future...small changes cancel/spread out to much to be noticable. To effect the future in a significant you must do something major. It takes effort! My beliefs are mainly based on Asimovs "FOUNDATION", and Terry Prachets "Trousers of Time" ideas. So they dont have much scientific base's. Anyway, good work again, and a good subject too.

We is what we is,we do what we do......I believe in Reason.....reason for everything,I believe you nor I could possibly change what is about to happen,we may think we could,but if we then looked back,whatever happened would have happened anyway??????Thought provoking image,very well put together and rendered,I like:):):)

We are a unique species on Earth, in that we have reached a point in evolution where we have almost "Cut the strings". Kinda scary. Great image, super topic!!
