No. People can decide to do something or not. I decided to reply to this when I could have ignored it.

But you did reply instead of not replying. Why? Would it turn out differently if I turn back time? Let's see. Nope, your post is still here. All your neurons did the same stuff what they did before. That's called causality.

I did reply but I could not have replied. According to this thread criminal commit crimes because they were determined to do so?  It might be true but its a bit hard to fully understand.

Did you will the electrons and chemicals to move in the specific manner required to make you enter this thread and post this post? If so, how? Are you sure the reactions and electrical signals just happened without you having any control over them?

Well, i cant is sure of that but it's hard to comprehend an idea that free will doesn't exist because its like saying people are going to do this and that no matter what.
