Science researchers probe free will

April 28th, 2010 by webmaster

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.
