Free Will is the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one’s own discretion.
Joshua 24:15 “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Free-Will requires thought, consciousness, and reasoning, that are unexplained, how they originated from the spontaneous inflation and explosion of a lifeless very dense rock.
Is it possible to program someones Free-Will (consciously or sub-consciously)?
Thought Experiment:
All Powerful Super Being creates Man in His Own Image, to have dominion over the Earth, with the Free-Will to Choose not to heed His warning of certain death, if Man does one specific thing, that He commands him not to.
Man chooses to exercise his own Free-Will to obtain for himself “the knowledge of Good and Evil”, and is now suffering the consequences along with all of creation.
All Powerful Super Being takes on Flesh in the Form of His Son, comes to Earth to do His Father’s Will, to give-up His Life as the propitiation for the sin of Man, and Rise Again overcoming death.
Question:
Do Humans have the Free-Will to Confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and Believe in their Heart that God Raised Him from the dead?
Or not?

AI calculation (estimation) of the 2025 value
What is the 2025 current value of 270,000 BD Bahraini dinar if compounding interest occurred since 1967?
The exact 2025 value of 270,000 Bahraini Dinars (BHD) from 1967 with compound interest is difficult to determine without knowing the specific interest rate applied over that time. However, an approximate value can be estimated using historical inflation data as a measure of the change in purchasing power.
This approach is necessary because:
No Universal Interest Rate: Interest rates vary significantly over a long period (1967-2025). This depends on various factors, such as the type of investment, economic conditions, and the specific institution. It is impossible to determine a single, universally applicable rate.
Inflation as a Proxy for Purchasing Power: Inflation represents the decrease in the purchasing power of money over time. Historical inflation rates can estimate what 270,000 BHD in 1967 would be worth in today’s purchasing power.
To estimate the 2025 value using inflation, the average annual inflation rate in Bahrain between 1967 and 2025 is needed. According to Macrotrends, the average annual inflation rate in Bahrain from 1966 to 2024 is 3.4%.
The calculation is as follows:
Initial Amount (P): 270,000 BHD
Number of Years (t): 2025 – 1967 = 58 years
Average Inflation Rate (r): 3.4% or 0.034 (as a decimal)
Formula for Future Value with Inflation: FV = P * (1 + r)^t
FV = 270,000 * (1 + 0.034)^58
FV ≈ 270,000 * (1.034)^58
FV ≈ 270,000 * 7.15
FV ≈ 1,930,500 BHD
Therefore, 270,000 Bahraini Dinars from 1967, adjusted for inflation at an average rate of 3.4% per year, would be roughly equivalent to 1,930,500 BHD in 2025 in terms of purchasing power. This is an approximation, and the actual value could be higher or lower, depending on the specific interest rate applied and the nature of the investment.

Alfred George is the exclusive architect to Arabican Associated Consultants who designed and surveyed the initial Airport road and straighted the coastline, as evident in his archive file that is available on the attached blog post.
Fredrick Webb, was discharged from the partnership in 1967.
John Elliot was never a partner of Arabicon, and certainly did not achitect the master plan of the city’s major roads and seawall, that was the creative work of Alfred George.
This paper: https://escholarship.org/content/qt6g88t4q3/qt6g88t4q3_noSplash_ec6dbad554a4a49ef5340786285e3fa2.pdf?t=p8rl7c
in that, John Elliot is describing himself as the lead designer is inaccurate, since Arabicon’s exclusive architect was Alfred George, of George and Davies Architects.
WHAT CAN BE DONE BY THE SUCCESSORS OF ALFRED GEORGE TO SETTLE THE UNPAID FEES DUE FOR DESIGN AND SURVEYING OF THE ABU DHABI MASTER PLAN?
I’ll treat this as a practical claims-and-evidence question rather than assuming the claim is already legally recoverable. I’ll check the linked materials, then outline realistic paths: legal recovery, negotiated settlement, archival correction, and reputational attribution.
Thought for 2m 30s
The best path is to separate the issue into two claims: money owed and historical attribution. They overlap factually, but they require different strategies.
Based on the materials I could review, your blog post has a useful documentary spine: it identifies a 1965 draft agreement between Arabicon and George & Davies, a June 1, 1966 Arabicon partnership deed, a June 1, 1966 memorandum involving Alfred George and Derek Crawford Davies, and a June 22, 1966 draft deed listing Alfred George among the Arabicon partnership documents. It also captions Alfred George’s 1967 town-planning design as the first to reshape the Abu Dhabi coastline and includes later documents captioned as estimated fees and unpaid-fee/town-planning-claim correspondence. The Crystallizing post likewise frames Alfred George / George & Davies as working exclusively with Arabicon and designing the Airport Road, grid roads, utilities, and shoreline reshaping.
1. First determine who legally owns the claim
Before anyone demands payment, a solicitor needs to determine whether the fee claim belonged to:
Alfred George personally; George & Davies Architects; the Arabicon “old practice”; a dissolved partnership; or Alfred George’s estate.
That matters because Alfred George’s heirs may not automatically have standing to sue or settle unless the claim passed through his estate or was assigned to them. If the claim was a partnership asset, the successors may need authority from the relevant partners’ estates or a court-appointed representative. Under English partnership principles, dissolution does not automatically erase unfinished partnership rights and obligations; partners’ authority can continue for winding-up purposes, but the exact rights depend on the partnership agreement and settlement accounts.
2. A court money claim is probably very difficult because of limitation periods
This is the biggest obstacle. A fee claim from 1969–1970 is more than 55 years old. Under English limitation law, ordinary simple-contract claims are generally six years, and claims on a deed/specialty are generally twelve years from accrual. UAE civil limitation rules have historically used a longer general period for civil contractual claims, often cited as 15 years, but that still would not normally reach a 1969–1970 fee debt. Also, because the work predates the UAE federation, which was formally established on December 2, 1971, counsel would need to analyze Trucial States-era law, the contract’s governing-law clause, and any arbitration clause.
The only facts that might materially change the limitation analysis would be a later written acknowledgment of the debt, part payment, a settlement agreement, an arbitration award, a judgment, fraud/concealment that legally postponed time, or a continuing trust/accounting obligation. Without one of those, a lawsuit for money is likely to face a strong time-bar defense even if the historical evidence is strong.
3. The practical recovery route is likely negotiated settlement, not litigation
The most realistic goal is a without-prejudice settlement approach framed as historical reconciliation, not an immediate lawsuit. The successors could prepare a professional claim package and submit it to the appropriate UAE and/or private successor parties.
That package should include:
A verified archive bundle: originals or certified scans, chain of custody, typed transcripts, and certified Arabic translations.
A clean chronology: 1965 formation, 1966 partnership documents, 1967 design/survey work, 1969 estimated fees, 1970 unpaid-fee correspondence, later attempts to reconcile.
A legal opinion from UAE and English counsel: ownership of the claim, governing law, limitation, sovereign/government-entity issues, and whether any acknowledgment revived or preserved the debt.
A valuation report: original fees, currency, historic professional-fee basis, inflation/interest scenarios, and a reasonable settlement range.
A settlement proposal that offers finality: payment or ex gratia compensation, official attribution, acquisition/licensing of the archive, museum or municipal recognition, and a mutual release.
The tone should be: “newly assembled archival evidence supports a good-faith historical and financial reconciliation”, not “fraud” or “the city stole the plan.” That improves the chance of a dignified settlement.
4. Correcting the academic record is a separate, achievable track
The John Elliott attribution issue should be handled through a scholarly correction process. The National article states that Elliott was recruited by Arabicon, arrived in Abu Dhabi in 1967, and described himself as the first person to put Sheikh Zayed’s plans to paper. If your archive contradicts or qualifies that record, the strongest response is a formal evidence memorandum to the author, UC Berkeley department, dissertation committee if still reachable, and eScholarship.
For eScholarship, UC says theses and dissertations are managed locally by each UC campus, and questions about already-posted ETDs should go to the campus administrator. The request should be for an erratum, supplemental note, corrected metadata, or linked archival rebuttal, not necessarily removal. That is more likely to succeed.
5. Best next move
The successors should commission a two-jurisdiction legal opinion from an English partnership/probate solicitor and a UAE disputes lawyer. The opinion should answer only five questions:
Who owns the claim today?
Who was the debtor?
What law and forum govern the claim?
Is any money claim still enforceable?
If not enforceable, what settlement/recognition route has the best leverage?
My view: a court case for unpaid fees is likely weak because of age and limitation, but a well-documented settlement and attribution campaign could still be worthwhile, especially if framed as preserving Abu Dhabi’s planning history and properly recognizing Alfred George’s role.
