    I don’t think any scientist, no matter how reasoned, could adequately answer this question – because it’ll boil down to semantics over the definition of “free will”, then devolve into solipsism. A better headline would be something like: “Renowned biologist argues his belief in lack of free will.”

        …which non-free-will folks will argue is irrelevant. You could have done different, if you had a reason to, but you didn’t.
