You have no free will. Life did not happen by chance. Chance and free will are illusions. I have no choice in typing these words. My actions were preordained, not by a God, but by physics. Your mind is nothing more than chemical and electronic reactions within your brain caused by the stimulation of your senses. Every thought you ever had is derived from the way your brain(who's compisition is derived from genetics) handles input from your senses.
Matter is infinite, it can neither be created, nor destroyed. It has always existed in it's finite and unchanging quantity. Our current universe is one of many that have existed and will exist in the future. Energy is in a constant cycle of expansion and contraction. At the moment of the big bang that can be said to mark the beggining of our current universe our universes course was set in stone. Every chemical reaction that would lead to Sol, Earth, and Life could be predicted from that point. Humans may never have the capacity to calculate these things, and so the delusion of Free Will may continue, but that's just what it is a delusion. Every molecule will interact with every other molecule a certain way, as soon as the initial state is known you can then derive all following states. In the immortal words of Einstein, "God does not play dice." So although humans will never be able to predict the future, it is not unpredictable. The future is coming....Alea iacta est.
