I want to bring up this topic because I am really interested to hear different viewpoints {evidence based please} concerning whether free will is an actual phenomena or an illusion of the brain.
It is my view that free will is limited by genetic and enviromental factors[i.e. war peace natural disaster etc.]but that within those borders [or programming if you will] one may choose their actions.
Whether that amounts to a real definition of free will I hope to clarify.
