Neither theists not your promotion of their sites have any particular control over reality.

Well, the definition of free will that the article cites is the one that is shared by the majority of the world's population, and it is the only meaningful definition of free will. It is also the definition of free will that forms the foundation of the jurisprudence of probably all of the world's societies, although some nations (such as Norway) are starting to become rather more enlightened in that regard.

The evidence is that we live and experience. Your arguments are consistently comically illogical and your tactics atrocious. And you've admitted that you have desires in this argument that you hold more dear that the truth.

That is a complete non sequitur. Certainly we experience the sensation of making a choice. That is because our brains do have to actually go through the process of making a decision, even if there is only one decision that it can make. And yes, of course I desire to see superstitious nonsense dismantled, when those superstitions are used to oppress and to unduly deny liberty.

And what I said about the intellectual exercise concerning "rewind" was that there would be no logical reason to expect anyone to do otherwise. People are who the are at whatever point in time they are.

Isn't that the same as saying that there logically is only 1 choice that can be made? And if that is so, then what would be the difference between subjecting someone with free will to this experiment, vs subjecting someone without free will to the same experiment? How would we be able to tell which subject had free will and which did not?
