How much random is random.. III (free will)

Now.. there is a book that I know which states that we don't have free will.. 

which means what ever decision you are going to take, it was defined by a hell a lot of parameters that came from a deterministic world..  and our body like a lot of things in nature is functioning 'cas of some chemical, electrical and other responses.. We already discarded randomness as not true randomness.. so.. our decision making is also deterministic... (at a very minute scale that we can't perceive)

So.. final final finally... (if you don't believe in some supernatural entity) our future is fixed.. but we just don't know..  'cas we can't handle that complexity.. 

ps: funny thoughts.. from a stupid discussion in my room.. :)

huh... quite thought-provoking! But, I doubt if free-will comes under randomness according to the logic that has been discussed.

PS: it's just a random doubt ;-)

I guess, you would agree that thoughts come in a flash.. with out any conceivable origin..

How do you refine to an extent of decision making is a different question though.. :)

Again, I could see a clause "conceivable" here! Anyway, I guess the topic itself is self-contradictory and endless! right?

you are right.. !!

and "conceivable" is to support my argument of the post .. ;)
