>>2221414
It is still the choice that fully determined by your personality and circumstances i.e. not free at all.

A better question to ask is why can't it be explained through only science.
>>
>>2221390
>Human consciousness.
>Humans exist.

That was easy.

>Free will is destiny in the past tense.

K. Not even an atheist.

Anything else?
