Abstract

Many authors deny the existence of free will based on scientific experiments that were done in the past. As a result of these experiences, these authors claim that there is no free will; therefore, criminals are not responsible for their crimes. In this paper, these claims, experiments, and results will be discussed and analyzed. The outcome of this paper will test what these authors claim about free will. Is it really what scientists and philosophers concluded that there is no free will?
