Well here is evidence that our decisions are made before we are aware of them:

Once again web sites are claimed to support some atheist notion, but do not. When exactly did subjects know what the test was about? What cued the decision to "move a finger" in the first place? It is obviously very artificial "spontaneity."

We are such stuff as dreams are made of. Remember that controversy? "of" or "on" dispute

Our imaginations are totally free. Our physical bodies are not, they have limits. It is often the case that our imaginations find the limits of our bodies.

Besides which, if we could choose our will, then we would need a will with which to choose our will. And a will with which to choose the will with which we choose our will, and so on...

Some people are more "spontaneous" than others, but I believe we are all capable of some spontaneity.

Most free will proponents limit it only to humans.

People can communicate when they are aware of their choices, animals cannot. We have to guess with animals.

And if you cannot explain what free will is and how it works, then how can you possibly claim that to be the simplest explanation for human behaviour?

Who told you that you can "explain human behavior"? You can't. That alone is proof of free will.
