Quantum physics strongly indicate a non-deterministic universe. In a non-deterministic universe free-will is at least possible - though currently there is no strong evidence in favour of either it or pessimistic compatabilism.

No... there is strong evidence that people given identical circumstances will always choose the same outcome.  All social and psychological sciences point to it.

Ask any socilogist or psycholigst and they will tell you so.

People who are identical genetic clones who have identical enviroments will live identical lives if everything is controlled for.

People may act similar - I'm not denying that natural instincts and past experience do not play a huge role in our lives. However you cannot claim that the question of free-will has been answered (which is what you are doing) because quite simply it hasn't.

No... you just don't understand what Free Will is... from a psychological perspective.


No offense... but Quantum Dynamic theory has been largely disproven by peoples inability to perform well in situations that require random behavior.

As far as the psychological world is argueing you may as well be argueing the world is flat.

Quantum approaches to consiousness are largely considered disproven.
