Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Tried to see that on Sunday and because there was a match on there was nowhere to park so had to abandon it.

But it is not a pointless philosophical discussion in my view. The science seems to be heading towards the position that there is no free will. I think that puts scientists in a really difficult position, since it means they have to behave as if we have free will - laws, for example, require it - while actually being certain that is no free will at all.   And it is hardly being "simple and honest" to act as if there is no problem.
