One of my professors, Peter VanInwagen (for those interested in Free Will vs. Determinism, his book "An Essay on Free Will" is a must read) believes that both free will and determinism can be disproven with sound philosophical arguments -- I'm not sure I agree with him but I see why he says that. The problem of randomness is a very serious one for non-compatibilists. Why? Well, the whole notion of free will is that we are in control of our actions. If our actions are random, it's hard to see how we could be in control of them. Likewise, if our actions are pre-determined, it's hard to see how we could be in control of them. I just happen to think it's more difficult to see in the case of determinism.
