Is it really impossible for a materialist, atheist/agnostic oriented thinker to read the following excerpt from the article Steve linked and think "Boy, that's stretching things considerably beyond where science is today"?
That article was littered with faith-based assertions (the likes of which I've previously pointed out to Steve in other threads). The faith, in this context, is in science vs religion/God/etc.
I just don't understand the lack of intellectual integrity here.
Quote:Neuroscience has not (yet) disproved the existence of free will, nor has it managed to explain what consciousness is.
But the science has made massive strides towards finding answers to those pivotal questions. And the direction of this progress points towards an absence of free will and a rather peripheral role of consciousness in the bigger picture of our mental faculties.
