We appear to have free will, so I think the burden of proof is on those who say we don't. I would like to see an experiment proposed to show that our will is not free.
Scientific date regarding something as vague as free will is hard to do.
However, as I was saying, chemical reactions in our brain control us and from what I've heard, scientists have actually done brain scans on people, observing the chemical reaction that leads them to make a choice before the choice is actually made. I still think we're slaves to those chemical reactions in our brain, if not for our entire consciousness being those chemical reactions in the first place.
