Hypothetically, science proves free will isn't real

I cannot understand the aversion to it.

Free will is just the ability to choose from left or right.

Free will is the individual's choice between one option or another, so long as two or more options are available.

Options appear available from our perspective, but theoretically, they may not be.  

Like a stone rolling down a hill towards a tree.  It appears it may hit the tree, or miss the tree.  But the reality is that based on physics, it may be impossible for it to hit the tree.  

That's the same idea with humans.  We think we are choosing from left or right.  But the physics of the little neurons firing in our brains says that in this situation, we could never choose left.
