Free will is the ability to make conscious decisions without them being deterministic. In other words, some decisions we make are not based on instinct but on actual active decision making in the brain.

If we rewound time to before a previous decision, a person would free will could change their decision. A person without free will would not be able to.

Personally I think free will exists, because it causes too many problems if it doesn't. Information appears out of nowhere; mathematical formula, inventions, books, etc were all predetermined at the beginning of time. It simply makes no sense.
