I discussed that problem a few weeks ago with a friend. for me the interesting thing about this question is, if we have a free will.
imagine a situation, where you stand at a crossroad and you can move left or right. now you have made your decission and you have taken one direction. now from this situation go back to the point of your decision and ask yourselve: when i would make the same decision again. under the same circumstances, wouldn't I make the same decision again. in my opinion you would every time make the same decision, because circumstances are allways the same. so you never had a real opportunity to take the other direction. the same is for every situation in your life. you never can make a real decision. you always have only one alternative. you just think that you have more.
it is not very important, if the world ist deterministic or porbabilistic like in quantum theory. if the last is true, than the chance for going left could be 70% and for going right 30%. but again, no free will. the odds are always the same and not depending on your will.
