Free Will
Question
Hello Rabbi, a few days ago I heard the scientist Sam Harris say that there is no free will and that this has been scientifically proven. Is that true?
Answer
No. See my book The Science of Freedom.
Sam Harris is a vigorous critic of religion, and sometimes he is not especially careful about caution and precision, in the manner of members of the atheist church (and churches in general).
