I'll give 'em read, tuna.

"Imagine a universe in which everything that happens is completely caused by whatever happened before it. So what happened in the beginning of the universe caused what happened next and so on, right up to the present. If John decided to have french fries at lunch one day, this decision, like all others, was caused by what happened before it."

I do agree with this. And I do agree that we don't have free will in the sense that there are only so many choices we can make, although that may be a very large number of choices to be made in a lifetime, those choices are still within the realm of possibilities. So in that sense, there is a limit to our choices and therefore a limit to our freewill. I don't think freewill is infinite or anything like that, but I do believe that it is large enough to make correct calculations and hypotheses A hard thing to accomplish.
