Is free will a myth?

I shortened your post to the above, because that one specific statement is interesting.

Care to elaborate?

EDIT: Almost forgot to ask my initial question again. What do we call free will?

I didn't expect to trigger a drawn out debate between you and Teeqoz but he pretty much covered it ... 

As Teeqoz mentioned you don't get to choose your behaviour since your body dominates your mind and not the other way around so it's exactly like I meant ... 

Those closest thing that your going to get to "free will" is being able to act on the nonpredetermined future and even then how we act is based off of our feedback system ... 

Teeqoz is absolutely right that it boils down to a crazy complex chain of chemical reactions and that we should stop being so arrogant in comparison to animals when their "decision making" process is fundamentally the same as ours ... 

That's correct. We have a larger thought processing, memory capazity and thus, awareness of time itself.
