Both, but philosophy is mlre fundamental, science assumes some philosophical positions.

Neither. It's a stupid question. Best reserved for religious studies.

Free Will is a joke. We're nothing more than the expression of our genes.

I am going to tell you a secret: the reason mathematics works and is so successful is because we're able to rigorously define terms and what we mean. However, in philosophy nothing can be rigorously defined. This is why it's impossible to make progress in philosophy.

I don't think free will exists.
I'd like to, because it implies "something more" and would turn all science as we know it on its head. It would be an even greater discovery than aliens.

There's just nothing supporting it. Go as metaphysical as you'd like, but there is no observable evidence of something not adhering to physicality.
