Very interesting. However, I wish Benjamin Libet's experiment was devoid of subjectivity. 200, 550 etc milliseconds are very tiny spans of time and there is a possibility of the subject not being able to determine the exact time s/he became aware of the decison, urge or intention. However, enjoyed the talk and thank you.

In some religions coming you have the free will, but if you choose to exercise it, you're forever doomed if it goes against the grain of the source that disagrees with it. I think gone literally bald from scratching my head so much on this one.
