I think the burden of proof is really on those who are claiming that we do have free will.

Why?

Mainly because the free will people are insisting that it is there. They are making a positive statement of it existing. I think that they may need to come up with more proof than their usual arguments of “This is how I feel” and/or “God did it”.

I’m not under the impression that this sort of determinism precludes randomness. That we can’t know exactly when/if that particle decays shouldn’t make any more difference than me not being able to explain why I prefer Blue Mountain to Kona.
