Yes, but your brain did tell your arm to move to such and such location, and that was NOT random. Therefore the corresponding choice is not random. You may not be aware what the choice is, but the choice is taking place just the same. Is it not?

I'm not citing the lack of randomness as a result of fate, but rather logical order..cause and effect. How can something take place without an initiative or a reason?
