In this paper I will argue Sam Harris's opinion on free will is not comprehensive in terms of philosophical view because he does not pay attention on the role played by the spirit level of a person cooperating with the human nervous system; because if there is no such thing as "Free will", we cannot take responsibility of our own action. Whether free will exist is a controversial question philosopher have debated on for many years. Like Sam Harris's opinion that free will is mostly derived from…

3:1-2: Amos began chapter 3 by responding to implied (or assumed) objections to his previous edicts. For example, the Israelites believed God’s election and faithfulness in previous generations protected them from judgment.
