Cakedaddy had this same theory back in the 90s.
Prove him wrong by raising your hand out of nowhere and he'd say that was predetermined and there's nothing you can do to prove otherwise because it's all predetermined.

Re: Free Will: No Such Thing
Cakedaddy can't help but be frustrating. That's predetermined, too.

But I still believe in my own Free Will. Because it's been predetermined that I shall do so. So there.
