Photons might have the free part down, they're not to hep on the will though. In any case, are you saying that we will never be able to predict where they hit?
My point is that there is no experimental evidence for a number of things most people accept. Arguing the tautology that anything that is not experimentally testable is meaningless because it is not experimentally testable is not really proving anything.
Well, that's kind of what I was trying to say - that it doesn't really matter weather or not we really have free will until someone is able to prove otherwise
If people want to believe only in those things that can be empirically verified, then that's certainly an option. I'd just like the logical consequences of that to also be accepted.
Personally, I believe that there are a great number of things that can not _yet_ be verified, but that doesn't mean that I feel a need to fabricate an explanation for them. In fact I consider it one of the factors that give our existence purpose.
