Bouncing furry purple coconuts have meaning the same way... and that is only what meaning you attribute to them. There is no inherent meaning in anything, to my knowledge.

You miss my point it seems.
Yes, obviously, I can, and do, think ahead. I can, and do, think of the future. But that is true with or without free will. I have a will and a will that can think ahead and of the future whether it is entirely determined/probabilistic (I can't control my own will in other words because "I" IS my "Will") or not. I have a will but whether it is "free" is another matter. This is a question of the existence of "free will" not merely "will".

So you can't control what things you take into you consciously to make determination and choices for your will to act on? Id that about where we're at?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
