The concept of free couldn't arise within beings devoid of free will in the first place. Free will cannot be an illusion, because an illusion is a false representation of something that already exists. If it's an illusion, what is it an illusion of? The materialist will say "Free will is the illusion of feeling able to make real choices." In other words: free will is the illusion of free will? Meaningless. The concept of free will proves its own existence, regardless of any interpretations of scientific data pro or against.

Is this a good-enough argument against free will? : If you could choose a moment in your past where you made a stupid decision, could you have made a different decision at that time being knowing what you did? I assume the answer is intuitively no.

Doesn't that alone debunk free will? Free will assumes you have multiple choices going forward, but if you believe your past was meant to be, then case closed?

Is there anything in science that gives credence to free will existing?

Is there anything in nature that happens completely randomly? Would this give the free will argument some legitimacy?
