Document Summary
Let"s accept that physics tells us that the world is partly indeterministic: to some extent, the fact that one event occurs rather than another is a matter of probability rather than something that is strictly determines. But, whatever free choices are, they are not just random acts determined by chance. So, embracing the probabilistic of quantum indeterminacy does not help to leave room for free will. Every event is pre-determines by prior events and the laws of nature. Beside the point: qm might show that the laws of nature are probabilistic, but this does not help to create any room for genuine free will.
