Do any of us truly have free will? If the universe was created in some sort of original cosmic explosion, didn't that already decide it all? In fact, wasn't it decided even before that? I mean, each molecule moved in a certain way to create each of us in a certain way that we would want to behave a certain way and be affected in a certain way by our environment, what can we really do about it? Even if we try to rebel against it, wouldn't it just be because we were supposed to rebel against it, because that's the way our atoms crashed together?
Not saying I believe it.

i think God would be bored with us by now if He were controlling everything... esp. since it would mean that we don't choose to praise/worship Him.. and that would make Hell particularly cruel if some were just destined for it. And if the universe formed in an explosion that seems to dictate a certain lucky (or divinely guided) randomness. Scientists measure randomness of the the universe, or at least in theory they do (not my theory, their own). And even are atoms are constantly battling oxygen and if some free radical or radioactive particle comes along well that's it. So, all those disjointed thoughts = yes, I believe we have free will
