There's no scientific basis for free will.

God knows the heart. God also is not mocked. He knows if someone is trying to hedge their bet, or is serious about putting total faith in Christ. Iâ€m not saying there cannot be a death bed confession, Iâ€m not God, but thatâ€s a huge gamble to see if you think you can do it.

Great point, but I don't think that's what Zigbee was referring to.

Pitch grew up in a home that was 'christian'. IF there was no free will, he would have been indoctrinated and wouldn't be an atheist today.

Not having free will doesn't mean that you aren't influenced by your environment.  In fact, reactions to our environment, experiences are all we are.
