What is the correct inference rule for C5? P1. If humans do not have free will, then humans are not morally responsible. P2. Humans are morally responsible. ∴ C1. Humans do have free will. P3. If humans do have free will, then humans can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause. ∴ C2. Humans can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause. P4. The gods can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause. ∴ C3. Humans can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause, and the gods can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause. P5. If Humans can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause, and the gods can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause, then humans are like the gods. P6. If humans are like gods, then humans can do anything within the realm of possibility. ∴ C4. If humans can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause and the gods can generate events that are not the effect of a prior cause, then humans can do anything within the realm of possibility. ∴ C5.Humans can do anything within the realm of possibility.
