A good question that deserves better answers than the ones you have been getting. Actually this is an age old question that philosophers have been grappling with since Socrates.
There are a number of possible answers I will list a few of them.
1. Free will is a function of intelligence and luxury. Since we no longer need to expend all of our mental energy on simply staying alive we can use that extra time to make choices. That is the difference between only being able to do one thing because it is neccessary and being able to do several things because although need still exists we have the luxury to distinguish good from better.
2. Emotions are compicated. Some are probably linked to survival of the species. an example is the parent -child emotional bond and the desire to socialize and be liked because humans survive better in groups. I do not think ALL emotions can be explained this way though.
3. Happiness is an emotion and results from satisfaction of physical and or emotional needs and desires.
I do not think that emotions coming naturally excludes the existence of God nor do I think their complexity proves His existence.
I am a believer in God myself . I do not think the subject you raised has any real religious significance one way or the other . It does have real philosophical significance though and you should seek answers not just fromothers but through research.
I hope this answers your question.
PEACE

Joy, Love, Happiness, Sadness or Grief are all Emotions, and all emotions.
Are the produce of our Nervall System and free will is also part of that same system, and it. Is what seperates us from the Animal World, and what makes "Man".
Although, at times, I think. That the difference between 'Man' and the 'Animal World', may be a lot closer then people agree

The irony is that 'God' has proven a million times over to be against free-will. If free-will exist then maybe that is proof that he does not. It is easy to explain that perpetual motion is. It is every perpetuation that happens, it is self evident and unanswerable. What has no basis is the conjured up concept of this persona ascribed to it called god - and an exclusive one at that. Perptual motion is obviously all-inclusive and all things including our emotions are inherent in it. Do you want to give this obvious state of events a name? God? If it is all-inclusive how can 'God' have an ideal character? Is he a contradiction of himself?

It is my view that all organized or otherwise religions in the world, since day one, are baseless and oblivious to the truth. That is to say, other than preaching the good in most cases, they have totally no idea of what God is and if – he, she, it – is or is not. Therefore, I consider your thoughts as groundless as those that have and are being propagated by any religion and its followers.
However, I find no reason not to accept the existence of an Orphic undefined Power, for I am aware of no rational wisdom leading me to believe otherwise.
I hope this answers your question as to where everything comes.

They are all evolutionary needs:
Love = the bonding together for reproduction, support and defence.
Joy & happiness = again - bonding tools
other emotions are often there to defend us (fight/flight)
Free will is the application of knowledge to our choices. It is a process not an object. And therefore to ask where it comes from is a category malfunction.

The complex world is not made more simple by making an even more complex anser (the popostion of there being a God) to answer the original complex thing.
A complex thing without a complex answer is just a complex thing without a complex answer (God)
Like God, one would answer it just is.

Why do you're saying "evolution by means of way of unnatural determination"? Are you suggesting that individuals and their habit are actually not to any extent further an ingredient of nature? probably you think of of folk are actually not indigenous to the planet, yet are some kind of invader from exterior? They let us know that as at as quickly as as predators cull out the 'susceptible and ill' by means of way of finding, it is organic and organic, yet you're saying that as at as quickly as as human beings cull out the 'gruesome and merciless' by means of way of breeding, it is man made? Or are you likely suggesting that better half and little ones dogs and cats are actually not to any extent further probably animals, by using human interference, yet some in-between ingredient, section animal and section human? besides, I agree that the 'cuteness' or in any distinctive case of better a million/2 and little ones pets does no longer inevitably element out emotion and after all, the facial musculature of utmost animals isn't everywhere close to to as in a place to expression as human facial musculature. we will not comprehend no count number if animals journey techniques till we hit upon tactics of measuring techniques ... and as at as quickly as as we attempt this, we can do it by means of way of measuring chemical activities (endorphins, hormones) and probable end that individuals do now no longer probably have techniques, the two. i ask your self: how ought to human beings have stepped forward techniques, in the event that they do now no longer come from any shrink animals? A single great mutation?

Neurons firing in our brains that allow us to feel, think, choose and experience life. Now a question for you... if there is a god, where did he come from?
