But I presuppose naturalism without doubting free will. Given a choice, why would anyone presuppose supernaturalism? I am fiercely pro natural world, proud to be a natural animal and think everyone with a lofty idea of themselves as a free floating/radically free willing disembodied mind is just off their rocker. Being an animal is a great privilege, being a deluded and pompous non-naturalist is ... unnatural!
You can't have free will without a non-physical process that is capable of physical causation (a mind) because if not, all you have are 100% physical causal processes that would only give you the illusion of free will. So, on your presupposed naturalism, how did a non-physical mind come from purely physical processes? Is there another example in the known universe that the physical has produced anything other than physical?
