Are you serious? You mean to tell me you didn't know this?

I've honestly never heard the "Darwinists state there is no free will" line before. Are you using it as a euphemism for the chaotic nature of evolution, or are you stating that evolution as a theory says something about the existence or non-existence of free will in humans?

And whatever it is you're referring to, did you glean it from some source that you can cite?

He writes in his 1994 book The Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul, "Your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more that the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules." Crick, Francis Harry Compton
