Default Re: A Refutation of Determinism

[ QUOTE ]
A) All actions are fully predetermined by the laws of physics, etc., and an omniscient being with full information could give you the complete state of the universe at any point in space-time; thus, free will does not exist

[/ QUOTE ]
That doesn't follow at all. "Free will" means doing what you want. It doesn't mean acting randomly. Free will and determinism are compatible.
