Oh but I am reading carefully. My reasons are scrutable. The reason I feel guilty from keeping the wallet, comes from my experience in losing something & not having it returned.  The reason I'm tempted to keep the wallet, is my greed & my desire for "something-for-nothing".  True I can't identify each experience that leads to my guilt/greed, except in the uninformative "All of them".  But I know enough.   Harris is at a tremendous disadvantage in this debate.  He must argue that of all the billions of people who have ever lived on earth, none of them at any time in their life, exercised free will.  I only have to argue that there was one case. Craig
