God or not, if you believe in free will it has to interact with the physical world at some point - it has to effect the electrons in the brain to change the sequence of events in the body from "throw the rock through the window" to "drop thr rock on the grass" (a free choice, conventionally). How big an accelerator do we need to find it do you reckon. TeV?

Free will is an illusion, the choices you make are made because of the present chemical structure of your mind. What feels like you coming to a decision on your own is really your body moderating the chemicals in your brain.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Two of my old uni friends did their PhDs with CERN (based at Glasgow), but they would never lobby on my behalf. Good doughnuts at their talks mind

Yes.

And you can't blame people for blaming you for being a moron.

Also, you can.

Highly recommend the TV mini series called Devs. Talks a lot about the ideas of free will and determinism in a sci-fi setting. I'm currently watching Dark, another excellent show, and it brings up determinism a bit with a time travel element.

Both extremely good shows.

Were just more complicated insects

everything we do and every choice we make is just a response to our environment, no matter how objective you try to be

That's why we're trying to destroy the environment.
