No, I don't believe in free will. I believe in cause and effect. In any closed system, if you know the starting conditions, you can predict the outcome, I cannot fathom how this could not transfer to the universe as a whole, thus although we don't understand it, we have no control over our lives, none at all. Yes it is a bleak and depressing point of view, but, I don't let it stop me from living my life. We have the illusion of free will, because the universe is to complex for us to understand and predict the outcome. If you look back in time, predicting the weather was pretty much impossible, but as we advance in our technology, we learn to understand the causes and effects of weather, and now we can have a decent 5 day forecast. Although it is apparently technically impossible to view down to the basics of atoms, they to be governed by laws which dictate cause and effect, these laws are unknown to us at this time, but I am sure are there.
I had no control over what I just wrote.
