I agree with you. The idea of a transcendent mind capable of making decisions beyond what genetics and society have caused is impossible. However, since the brain is the person, and the brain causes the action, it's still 'free' for the brain. The real debate should be about the definition of free will, I think. It sounds like most of the people here are getting hung up on the definition rather than the consenus.
