Are you familiar with the concept of Predestination? 


What I am saying is that it is not clear whether or not we have free Will in the classical sense of the word, and that it may not be posible to determine whether or not we do have free will anytime soon at the present state of human scientific knowledge.  Many other people besides myself consider that to be an open question. 


I believe that we, as a society, purely for the self-protection of the members of our society, have no choice but to hold people responsible for their actions. Free Will or not.  That much is straightforward prudence.
