Or, I suppose the best way to put it is this.

The majority of evolutionary biologists believe in free will.

If you know what an evolutionary biologist is... that should mean a lot.

And most neuroscientists believe that free will is an illusion. So what?

Except... they don't.

When polled most neuroscientists do still beleive in free will... they just think it works differently.  I used to have a couple polls about this.  Trying to refind them currently.

A good book by a nueroscientist is

A few loud ones like to decry freewill... but they actually are still in the minority... and focus solely on duality based free will and ignore basically all modern philosphy.   While making a number of assumptions about there research.

In reality, all the research in nueroscience definitly proves is that there are physical actions in the brain that exist before decision making happens.
