Of course it does.
Either we have no free will and are simply a product of biochemical reactions, which makes this all moot or we have free will that must fall outside these reactions.
Ah, so you're one of those types, who thinks that free will is either magic or non-existent.
You're making a fallacy of composition; just because the brain is material and chemical interactions does not mean it cannot produce a process like free will. Material things are not just restricted to what they are composed of, else we'd never have machinery or electrical engineering.Quote:If we have free will, where does it come from. What physiological process could possibly invoke free will?
Say we don't know what physiological process could produce free will. We also don't know what magical process could produce it. It's an unknown, so the level of evidence is the same for both. What justification do you have for discarding physiological processes entirely, given the actual facts of the situation?
