I'll challenge you, even though I believe what you say. Particles of matter move and what not according to true probability. When you flip a coin there is a 50/50 chance it will land heads, but that isn't true probabiility, one can predict on which side it will land, it isn't probable, which side will land is determined once the coin is flipped and maybe even before that, but the path a certain particle will take, or the position it will end up is not definite until it take the path. Any path it can take is only a possible one. Obviously my understanding of quantum mechanics is not very good, but bear with me. Maybe humans have some magical free will power which lets us decide which of many possible paths our brain atoms can take when they are involved in making a choice or thinking. Now I don't actually believe this. I believe we don't have free will on two levels. One is that we are just atoms, and they move about on their own, and their actions can be predicted, and you get it. Another is that our choices are influenced by feeling, and that we don't actually decide on what we feel, so we are just going by feelings that we have not chosen to feel. I can explain this better when I'm in the right state of mind.
