Let him read the following dialog between God and a mortal considering determinism. It’s actually not very theistic, but merely presenting the free will problem in a logical manner.
It’s by logician Raymond Smullyan and it shows how untenable the position of extreme determinism is, without polarizing.
It’s one of the things everybody struggeling with the free will vs determinism should read.

But then the scene comes where the Santa Claus gets stuck in the chimney, discovered due to the smell. This is not shown, just a story that gets told pretty off handed.
I realized that that was the part that made the movie scary to me when younger. And it colored the rest of the movie darker, too.
A fern is a plant. A plant is supposed to get pollinated by bees and whatnot. Yet ferns have sperm swimming around and fertilizing the lady-bits of other fern....
Whilst the few posts in this thread are rather sour, I’d like to mention that this project in is scale, combining modern and ancient methods is exciting to me.
France is wie lucky that they have a large guild of master carpenters that specialize in roof construction and the largest living history project in Guedelon, where they have made a medieval castle, with only ancient methods.
Without those craftsmen, this project wouldn’t be feasible.
Ik vind het zo ellendig dat de media dit soort ideeën lopen hypen. Natuurlijk levert dat fijne haatbeet op en hype onder de gepopuliseerden, maar eigenlijk maken ze zo het idee normaal dat Caroline premier zou kunnen worden.

What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

What's the best response to someone who believes in hard determinism but also uses this to deny responsibility for any immoral actions they commit?
That is, they think all of their decisions were preordained, and then use this to claim that they can’t be held responsible for anything they do.
