Ok....I stated:Not in the least. The response you received was merely asking for a clarification.
Ok... and what mechanism within the laws of physics allows us to consciously and willfully choose to fire / to not fire electical impulses down a neural pathway?
Nothig here makes any reference to any other animals other than man.
Hopefully that clears the way for you to asnwer my question.
You are equating "free will" with the firing of "electrical impulses down a neural pathway".
Since this is also done by other creatures "consciously and willfully" that means that they too must have "free will". A pride of lions will "consciously and willfully" decide to stalk a herd of zebra and each lion will be firing "electrical impulses down a neural pathway" as they take up positions. The behavior that we can observe demonstrates "free will" per the definition that you have provided. Nothing so far indicates that there is any difference between the way they are exercising "conscious and willful" control over the physics and chemistry of their own bodies and how we do the same.
So now, back to the question:
What mechanism within the laws of physics allows us to consciously and willfully choose to fire / to not fire electical impulses down a neural pathway?
