Science researchers probe free will

Came across two interesting little articles referring to scientists investigating human free will, so thought I’d post the links if you’re interested:

MercatorNet – Free will and fruit flies – If we are just a sack of chemical reactions and have no free will, shouldn’t we change our legal system accordingly?

BeliefNet – Researchers Probe Whether, Why, ‘Free Will’ Exists – Are people really responsible for all the things they do? Do they have what theologians call God-given “free will” to choose between right and wrong?

    “Two studies portend a troubled future, Mele said. One found its subjects cheated more when they believed they were not responsible for their own decisions; another found subjects’ behavior growing more aggressive when their belief in free will was suspended.”

    With the absence of a moral code – christianity the UK will become brutalized and totalitarian.
