A:Personally, I like to think that we do have freedom of choise, but on the other hand there are things I believe to be predefined as well. I suppose the best way of saying what my standpoint of the whole freewill question is, is that the universe presents us with said number of predefined lives (
x) and the choises we make in our lives by employing free will (y) determine which eventual outcomes of our lives (z) are more likely than others. I suppose you could liken it to the mathimatical computation of odds. xCy = z. I guess then that life is all a question of math really. All about how you pick the numbers to get the "right" answer. This is just my oppinion on the question, (it is a philosophical question and we'll only ever know the answer after we die, if then) so this is as close to an answer as I can give. Hope it is useful to you.
