I agree thoughtful...no one knows...we should all take an agnostic position on the matter of free will I think....

But I no of no evidence of free will so I think it probably doesn't exist....

I know of things that don't have free will (rocks, water...etc???) so what evidence is there that we or other living things have free will rather than just evitability and freedom in general?

Where is the evidence? To truly have free will wouldn't we have to be able to override physics? Whether its determined or indetermined?

Anyway....the default, more parsimonious position I think is no free will....and until I know of any objective evidence of 'free will' (that is not simply freedom in general, i.e evitability) then I will assume there isn't any.
