WLC view of free will is a complex one, being a Molinist. But I don't think that impinges on the Cosmological argument.
Basically, as I see it, people like WLC appear to be essentially saying that the beginning of the Universe could not have been an uncaused, spontaneous event, yet actions are? I suppose they might reply that the soul plays the role of God, the process of decision-making operating almost ex niliho?
