Yet most of humanity believes free-will is observable through our own experience of it.
Yet there exists people whom disbelieve in free-will.
Do you conclude on this basis free-will is not observable?

At this point, free will is indistinguishable from lack of it (we at least have the illusion of it), but if god truly were to 'reveal' himself, he would not act in a way indistinguishable from a totally normal event.
