The End of Evil? Neuroscientists suggest there is no such thing. Are they right?

Well gee, thanks. As a card carrying agnostic I really appreciate the comparison. /

But when ‘science’ ‘determines’ there is no free will or evil they are undermining the foundations of ethics. It is reducing humans to mere automatons.

Some people might like that status as it frees them from responsibility. Me? I’ll pass. I’m not a machine, nor am I part of a machine.

And I will stick to my hypothesis that the human mind is too complex to be understood by mere reduction to its processes.
