The picture caption reads "Resistence is futile. Prof William Provine, ecology and evolutionary biology, argues against intelligent desing and human free will yesterday before an audience of about sixty.
This is crazy, I had begun to think about this while in my Biology class, when the teacher started to talk about how hormones, and nerves, spinal cord control a lot of our movement. He said he hated talking about it because he would like more to believe that he had all the control in the world over his actions. But he said sometimes when we react in certain situations, we don't use our brain, instead we use the spine, which takes no thinking, and is almost a reflexive action.
Could you explain his theory is regards to how much control we have over our actions?
