I believe in a total causal determinism. Thus for me every mans actions has a biological reason, known or not. For me, "creation" is just a form of "evolution". Free will does NOT exist; however an illusion exists, an illusion which has a specific purpose which is not the issue right now.
So when you say "There is an infinite number of possibilities that a person can choose", i agree, but i add that the possibility chosen between the others had a specific cause, conscient or inconscient.
This apllies to all forms of causes/effects. Life is just a tissue of determinism...when you choose between coffee or tea in the morning, there is a cause. It may known be to you or not; but what is sure is that it chosen always according to some instinctive laws, that of survival for example.
