Why I don't believe in 'free will'

[Kyuuketsuki]

Of course free will must exist. If it didn't that means that every tiny aspect of our lives and thoughts are pre-determined and 'free will' is an illusion and if it is an illusion who is the subject of that illusion?

There's no of course about it ... at best you can only assume there is free will.

I have no evidence for my position just as you have no evidence for yours. This is why it's called philosophy and why philosophers have been arguing about it since the the beginning of philosophical thought.

And there, I believe, you err because (at least in private conversations with Ev) he has agreed that there is no support for the belief that there is no free will either ... whichever way you look at it the idea that we have free will is based on assumption (it looks like it, it feels like it but there's no evidence because it can't be tested in any objective fashion).
