Maybe it was in a different thread but I don't recall making any claims about random number generators. The randomness I mentioned earlier is introduced by quantum fluctuations and collapsing probability fields where even with identical input the output could be different. At the macro level of perception these things aren't really relevant to the way we live or experience the universe but it is easy too imagine them affecting brain chemistry which occurs at the atomic level.
Kevy Baby, you're just making the same point I am. You say it is free will because that is what you experience and that is good enough for you. I say it seems like free will but without an underpinning theoretical framework that explains how free will might exist I see no reason to assume it actually is. Unless and until something dramatically changes in our ability to observe and experiment on the universe, we'll never be able to differentiate the two.
