If free will exists, where does it come from?
If you claim its an entirely physical by-product of this world, then you have to explain yourself because cause and effect rule this universe - there is no ambiguity.
If you want to argue that quantum mechanics presents randomness to the equation, then you have to explain yourself because it has not been proven that quantum mechanics is "random", furthermore that level of interaction is much "lower" than that of the neurons firing in your brain, and, just because randomness is injected, that doesn't mean free will results - it means your actions are random!
If you want to claim spirituality... then where exactly does it enter the "system". Every month we are coming to an increasingly better understanding of our brain and how it makes decisions etc... what room is left for spirituality? What happens when a computer connected wirelessly to your brain can make you feel anything, and think anything... your brain is causal
