Maybe he's just an evolutionary biologist.  Oddly enough that's how most evolutionary biologists judge free will.


I seriously doubt that.


Well you'd be wrong then.

Most evolutionary biologists & Psycologists believe how we act is all due to DNA we were born with before we were born. 

Most also believe in free will.

This was found in more then a couple studies that gauged religious belief by scientific field of study.

Here's one of them.

We anticipated a much higher percentage for option B and a low percentage for A, but got just the opposite result. One of us (Provine) has been thinking about human free will for almost 40 years, has read most of the philosophical literature on the subject and polls his undergraduate evolution class (200-plus students) each year on belief in free will. Year after year, 90 percent or more favor the idea of human free will for a very specific reason: They think that if people make choices, they have free will. The professional debate about free will has moved far from this position, because what counts is whether the choice is free or determined, not whether human beings make choices. People and animals both certainly choose constantly. Comments from the evolutionists suggest that they were equating human choice and human free will. In other words, although eminent, our respondents had not thought about free will much beyond the students in introductory evolution classes. Evolutionary biology is increasingly applied to psychology.

Before I read that  I would just like to say that my post there was an attempt to prompt you into giving info to back up a topic I find both fascinating and infuriated by at the same time.

thanks

You could of just asked...

Is, ''I don't think you're right, provide a source'' really necessary?

Anyways, I think my doubts are justified.
