I don't see a paradox, DA. It's either free will or it's not. Either the 'choice' is real or it's illusory. Even if it is illusory, we still experience it as real. The point with chaos theory is that it deals only with the measure of unpredictability in mental/physiological processes, and has no bearing whatsoever on the free will debate.

Free will is, of course, more than simply a matter of interest to the religious. At the same time, the physics of our universe either allows it or it doesn't. To date, we don't know which. Maybe we'll never know - but for me, it's very much a matter for science.
