Free Will: Fact or Fiction

[Darkstar]

The lack of evidence to the contrary is what convinces me.

I'm sorry, did you just suggest it can't be proven it doesn't exist and so thats a good enough reason to believe it does?

I think he;s saying that he doesn't consider the evidence against it to be strong enough.

I think that we have free will, but are still affected by biology and our past experiences. We aren't slaves to our impulses, but they do give us suggestions. There are certain things we can't control at all, like reflexes, but on a macroscopic level, I think that we have enough control to call it free will.
