Re: Why Determinism could never be disproven or shown to be unlikely

Determinism comes in many shades: theological, economic, sociological, biological/genetic, and cosmological. Personally, I am a hard determinist of the sociological and biological persuasion. Human behavior is controlled by genes and environmental influences. In my world view free will and determinism are mutually exclusive making compatibilism meaningless. What evidence is there for this? There are thousands of sociological and biological experiments that point to causal relationships between sociological and biological influences and the resulting human behavior.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
