72. Have you read a lot of material supporting it?

I haven't. Sure, there are always going to be some supporters, but the overall consensus (especially among neuroscientists) is that it ain't there.

And it's important to remember that even scientists can be prone to wishful thinking and interpreting data to fit their pet beliefs. I think a lot of the free will support that does exist is related to that. Scientists are human beings with typical psychological motivations.
