Have to agree with esper3k. Everything is part of a cause and effect chain which leaves the ultimate cause of our decisions outside of ourselves. This means we don't have any free will as such and everything is predetermined. But because we don't know what the result of our decisions are, we're not capable of knowing the future, we perceive the notion of free will.
