What the hell are you even trying to say?
Depending on where my turns threw you out of the pickup truck:
1. You, Durka, are possibly correct that there is no direct evidence of free will. However, you have decided to believe in free will. I do not believe you made this choice lightly, or without some reason for the decision. Stating the reasons for your choice is different than offering a proof. Failure to provide the reasons for your choice seems silly to me. You have stated elsewhere that atheists are silly for picking sides in an undeterminable question, yet you pick a side here?!? I would enjoy knowing where the difference lies.
2. "Stochastic" means random!!! An aside: Stochastic processes (or whatever other study you are hoping to bring up) are processes involving systems of random variables that interact on some level.
There are two ways of thinking about random variables:
a) They are truly random. In other words, they are both undetermined by cause (and obviously would also be undeterminable by people)
b) They seem random because they have not been determined by people (and maybe can't be), but are determined through cause.
I am positing that there must be a truly random event for your free will to exist.
Feel free to add a c) to my list to prove me wrong. I would enjoy learning about c), and I am sure that others would as well.
