Default Re: Free Will

My argument against free will is based on the fact that we make decisions with information previously gathered. To have free will would almost be godlike. My Def. of free will - the ability to make an infinite amount of decisions. An illusion of control is created when making decisions. However, life is lived in a linear path in regards to the axis of time. What control do you have over the information(stimuli) existing in those instances when they are gathered? Example: What control do you have at this moment over whether or not you agree with this argument? You may say i disagree with this argument because of X, but if X never existed in your life, how would you make that decision?

Sry if this doesn't make clear sense. I have to leave and don't have to time to focus my argument.
