What makes you think you have free will?
God or not there is no such thing as free will, the timeline of the universe is determined at it's very beginning (though that's not the beginning of time, just the universe, the big bang is the beginning of our universe because any event before the big bang would not have any effect on what happened after that event so therefore it is irrelevant to our universe just as our universe will have no effect upon the next one after the big crunch and next big bang.)
Oh and your bit about people not changing is totally wrong, people changes religions and belief systems all the time. I was raised Roman catholic, studied buddhism breifly, then settled on an atheistic worldview which accepts logical assertions such as panpsychism versus eliminative materialism; either one is logically sound so I accept them both as possibilities.
Studies show less than 1/2 of all Americans stay with the faith they were brought up in, most change once or twice in their lives.

No such thing as free will? You seem delusional.
BIG BANG THE BEGINNING? AND YOU CAN BRING ME PAPERS (FACTS) TO PROVE THIS "BIG BANG THEORY". Dude its called the Big Bang Theory for a reason.
Yeah people change but most likely if you are raised a certain religion, that is what you will stick to because its 1. what you know and 2. what you've believed your whole life.

And you also need to look up the definition of scientific theory before you try to challenge one. It is not the same as the common use of the word theory. A scientific theory is the explanation of a series of facts based on evidence.
In other words, a theory is evidence and facts, and not "guesswork" as most creationists seem to think.

I know what a scientific theory is. Actually it is not an explanation of a series of facts. It theorizes based on observations and concepts. Then After it stands the "test of time" it becomes generally accepted.
In the sciences, a scientific theory (also called an empirical theory) comprises a collection of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena expressed as quantifiable properties, together with rules (called scientific laws) that express relationships between observations of such concepts. A scientific theory is constructed to conform to available empirical data about such observations, and is put forth as aprinciple or body of principles for explaining a class of phenomena.
