I'm not sure that I do because I know of no evidence of it. As in no evidence of 'how that would work'

I have to say Adrian that I agree with Ev ... I don't specifically believe in free will either.

As he says there is no specific evidence that it exists and we wouldn't know if it was a fake anyway. I just figure other things (random or at least unpredictable factors) control what happens and we just ride the wave (slave to whatever chemical reactions or quantum fluctuations occur) ... maybe we have free will, maybe we don't but even if we don't it's one helluva ride.

As Ev said to me on MSN ... believing you are making choices freely is not the same as having evidence you are making choices freely.

That we have free will is an assumption, nothing more.
