Can you prove free-will exists or explain how you are justified in knowing it exists for certain?
Without the omnipotence of a god, there is no foreknowledge or predetermination. Therefore, we are free to choose our actions which will lead us down an unknown path to an unknown future.
As soon as the path and future are known, by anyone or anything, our ability to choose is eliminated. With a deity, our path is inevitable and free will does not exist. Without a deity, our path is unknown and necessarily advances based on free will.
You have no choice but to act in linear form. Every small action you perform, and decision you make, is a direct result of previous influence. Even in the most balanced decision, the choice you make is the choice you would always have made. You are incapable of going against this. So to say that you have free will is completely wrong.
What you are, unless restricted, is a free agent to act as your will dictates.
