 it's an interesting read I'm sure :P  It's your choice to read it or not. I think I've said most of what I can for now and for a while, so if you read it and dont agree then simply say " I read it and I don't agree " or like, I read it and I think you're crazy"  And then we can let it rest as youve taken the time to discuss plenty :)

Im someone who can debate for hours on end. I am a bit tired for now though, I've been arguing about games with a friend of mine at the same time :P

OK, I've read it now, and here's the low down:
I disagree with your assertion about randomness (basically that it doesn't happen on the macro scale), although you may be able to show me wrong here. 
I disagree that your "scientist" would think he could perfectly predict everything if he knew all the positions/forces/etc. (due largely to the above disagreement). 
I disagree with your reasoning about free will, because IMO your argument boils down to saying that our physical brains are not subject to causality.  (If that's what the hypothetical scientist was looking at to try to predict your mind, then clearly that's where you say the consciousness resides, right?) 

Oh, and I normally have great stamina for debates -- just ask appolose.  (Oh wow, over three months!  Kind of depressing actually...)  But for some reason this one just ... eh. 

P.S.  You may find this interesting.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
