How exactly are we defining 'free will' here?
At the moment I'm sitting here wondering if I should have either ravioli or steak for dinner.
The following statements are based upon belief and not evidence
When I do eventually make a decision it will be my choice and no-one else's.
I have complete freedom to choose either one or the other or in fact, something else.
End of contentious statements
Are you (and when I say 'you' I mean all those who think free will doesn't exist) saying that when I make my decision it wasn't actually mine at all but simply an illusion. And if it wasn't my choice, who's was it?
What are the processes that went into that decision that all these years I thought were me?
