The free will/determinism issue's been on my mind a lot lately. On the one hand, I want to believe in free will, but on the other, I feel like only a fool could deny the claims of the scientists, since they've got cold, hard data on their side.

I haven't heard any decent arguments for compatabilism that don't sound like desperate rationalizations. Are there any good refutations of determinism, or is it a losing battle?
