==Free Will==
Many liberal scientists believe that modern neuroscience is a subversion of free will, and that the brain is all there is to personality. This is to the direct exclusion of the soul and God's will. For instance, if someone was to commit a crime such as killing a woman, that person could be exonerated on the basis of his neurological abnormalities, which are not his fault. [[Descarte]] attempted to avoid this issue by placing the soul at the helm of the individual, stating that it was ours spirits that truly drive us. The soul attached to the brain via the [[pineal gland]], communicating with the corporeal matter by squeazing the central gland, and pumping cerebrospinal fluid through the body. Many conservative scientists are now taking into account the soul, when they factor in free will, which allows for much more variation among individuals.
