This is the first time I have heard that science states that free will is an illusion: "According to the modern scientific view, there is simply no room at all for freedom of the human will." http://aurellem.org/society-of-mind/som-30.6.html

Can you find any good arguments for the free will if you accept following two conditions:

1. Randomness or probabilistic behavior is not free will.

2. Argument does not assume entities outside our scientific world view.

Arguments that don't include soul, spirit or something like that try to equate free will with indeterminism. That's just wrong. Is there indeterminism is different question.
