    Dear Chris

    >>>>
    Obviously, for the same reasons we cannot disprove determinism in this
    area, we also cannot prove determinism by empirical means. So, I'm not
    claiming determinism on a purely scientific basis, but on the basis of
    philosophical premises (i.e., that the physical universe is real,
    logically (and therefore causally) consistent, etc.). Therefore, I don't
    offer the above comments as strong positive support, but merely as
    defense of the possibility.
    <<<<

    On the same basis, one can't prove or disprove the existance of free
    will.
