Mark Balaguer - Do Humans Have Free Will?
Free will seems so obvious. Whatever I want to do, I just do. But could 'I' be fooled? Some say that free will is an illusion, and they back up their claim with scientific experiments. Others say that free will is a mystery. Still others alter the definition of free will to be 'compatible'

Why You Should Never Say "It's Just A Theory"
A portion of our culture distrusts the scientific method, assuming that there are transcendent truths unknowable by science. But nothing is truly out of bounds for science. If it's real, it can be studied, and tested. Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding our culture has about the scientif
