Nothingness, Freedom, Determinism

According to some, there is a constraint on an ex nihilo creator--Nothingness.  Accordingly,  this divine Nothingness is absolutely free.  Thus, too, is its secular version--Consciousness, in Sartre's system.  But, this absolute Freedom is not opposed to Determinism.  To the contrary, we are "condemned to be free", as Sartre famously formulates it.  On that basis, the standard concept of 'Determinism', e. g. Newtonian Physics, Behaviorism, etc., manifests a condition that he calls Bad Faith, which consists in the abdication of Freedom by fobbing it off on a purportedly impersonal power, e. g. a deity, an insuperable chain of events, etc.  Of course, Newtonian Physics presupposes the existence of an ex nihilo creator that does not intervene in the created once the act of creation is complete.  So, the Free Will vs. Determinism debate can be conceived as a surrogate for a Theological dispute, or, conversely, absent the Creationist premise, the scope of the debate becomes significantly deflated.
