Well I'd like to think that if god exists when I die he won't explain shit, and I'll be allowed to create my own scenarios of existence for all eternity, but what I wish doesn't amount to shit.

Free will can best be viewed from this perspective: If you were hypothetically allowed to, from another plane of existance totally seperate from ours, view the course of all events in a given period of time in our plane, then "rewind" so to speak, and watch again, nothing would be different. There is one outcome because our existance is temporally linear.

Two easy arguments against this:
1. What if time isn't linear? Then there are multiple outcomes that all occur seperately. It doesn't change the signifigance of my previous statements.

2. What if you were to rewind and something different happened? Because nothing in that plane of existance has been changed this would mean the change occured randomly. If you view "free will" as the existance of random probability, then it exists, but its not at all what most people seem to believe it is.
