Is free will a myth?

As did I. But if you do think you can control the chemical reactions in your brain, then there must be something metaphysical (maybe a ghost!) to it. There's no getting around that.

There's no need for that. Same chemical reactions could lead to different results because in physics 2+2 isn't always 4. or 5. or 6.

Quick example:

Take a male bunny and a female bunny and put them in a rabbity hole for four months. Do you know how many bunnies are there in the hole now?

Just because the chemical reactions can have different outcome (presuming they can, if absolutely all external factors are exactly the same....), you still don't have control over it. They just happen, and the result will be what it will be. You don't will it to be something different.
