That's a good question Harry. I'd say probably not. It's a strange thing to think about. I believe I have freewill, but I don't think I can really know for sure.

Another interesting question is "can the world be pre-ordained while simultaneously allowing individuals to still have free-will?"

I believe the argument is -- imagine you live your life and make vast numbers of decisions throughout that life time, and when you die your soul goes back in time to the moment of your birth. Your soul then watches your past self go through life and make the same decisions all over again. From your past self's perspective he is making his own decisions and has free-will but from your soul's perspective everything is pre-ordained.

I believe this is the logic used by the church to explain how god can know what will happen in the future and also allow you to still have free-will. The Muslims flat out say that the world is pre-ordained, and I'm pretty sure this is how they explain freewill as well. Personally, I don't buy it because all my decisions are locked in stone before I've ever made one and before I'm ever born, and to me this is not free-will.
