Free will doesn't appear to be verifiable or disprovable.
But it feels like I have it.
Is it an illlusion?
I don't know.
But it makes no difference.

Neither. Free will is an illusory concept. Understandably, "freely exercising our will" is linked to a certain value which we place on humans. Without it, we don't seem so special anymore. Which says nothing about a greater power who must be capitalized or he'll be offended.
