Because there's no evidence of free will. You need evidence of a positive before a negative... a negative is assumed until there's evidence of its positive.
E.G: No ghosts is the default...until there is any evidence of ghosts its irrational to postulate such an entity and believe in it.
You don't start with ghosts and then try to find evidence that they DON'T EXIST. And this is the case with many things...
What evidence or reason is there to treat free will as a special case? And of course, don't now say: 'What evidence or reason is there to treat free will as NOT a special case' because there it would go again...requiring evidence for a negative before a positive....negative is default...positive needs evidence.
ONCE a positive HAS evidence....THEN you need evidence for the negative...you need to give evidence against the positive - because the positive now has support and there is a good reason to believe in it....but UNTIL there IS evidence of the positive.....the negative should be assumed...why believe in the positive?
Why should I believe in free will? Physics are either more random (indeterminism)... OR are totally predetermined (determinism)....where on earth does 'free will' fit into that equation? Where is the evidence?
