Planets turn around the sun.
Their trajectories can be calculated pretty exactly. Once we know all physical laws we can in theory calculate the exact location of the planets. Generally if we know all physical laws we can calculate in theory the behaviour of matter. A human is made of matter , so in theory it is possible to calculate their behaviour as well.

Where is the free will then ?

You have nailed it exactly. Free will is a complete impossibility, as consciousness is a computational process and thus perfectly deterministic.

Only if human beings are free, we can talk about the concept of free-will. Human beings are bound in several levels. they can never consider themselves as free. Only God is having free will and not man.

God, gave man free will. It can not be calculated what man will do from time to time.
If that were the case the killings the other day would not of happened.

Yes there is such thing as freewill. Human behavior are very hard to predict. You can not calculate human behavior because we can change our mind in a second.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Free will is an illusion.
