I just want to say that this is a badly designed poll. The three options should be the three main positions on free will in contemporary philosophy: libertarianism (free will exists and determinism is false), compatibilism (free will exists and determinism is true), and hard determinism (free will doesn’t exist and determinism is true).

This may be a stupid question, but has "free will doesn't exist and determinism is false" ever been brought forth or explored as a position in philosophy?

They also lead to some embarrassingly bad lines of thinking, such as Gödel's attempt to resurrect the beaten-down corpse of the Ontological argument (I'm sure you'll get a kick out of that given your religious views).

Please do not insult the "insane mathematician" community like that.
