The burden of proof is on the one making the claim that free will or god or or exists.
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
If you have no control over your life (as you pre-suppose) then why should I believe one word that you write?
irrelevant.
I am merely replying to a bacteria or parasite and that is why I don't waste my time debating with fools like you!
You seem upset. You also bothered to write a comment which means i touched a nerve.

Check out Sam Harris's book on Free Will.
I know I said I didn't read it in an earlier post, but I did read Waking Up by Sam Harris and he touches upon tons of interesting science and thought experiments that disprove the notion of self. I am sure that in his book Free Will, he goes much more deeply into the science portion.
Also, @kyriacos, I have been trying to figure out a better way to explain to people the Free Will argument. I think the biggest thing that confuses people is that they think, 'If my actions are dictated by my environment and genetics, then how is it that I feel like I have to push myself to do anything?'
How would you answer that question?
Life is a fucking joke anws. Just enjoy the ride and try not to be an asshole. This is how i respond.
According to to you we can't choose. You don't believe your own logic.
no you are making your own assumptions again
Is there a language barrier? You said try not to be an asshole. How can you rationalise the idea that there is no free will and also say that you have a choice at the same time? Do you believe there is free will or not?
You have no choice but to fall into the whims of your environment hence why there is no free will.
