I see. If nobody created us for any purpose, and our choices are the result of complex processes that are, at their lowest levels, non-deterministic, than we don't have free will. Whereas, if a being created us for a reason, we do have free will. I hate to be a party pooper, but that makes no reasonable sense, if anything, the opposite would be more likely.

What we know is that we exist. What is the scientific answer as to how and why?

I, like you am confused. Just WHY is it MORE likely?
(scientifically speaking, of course.)

Taken as an ultimate question of origins, There is none worth examining. Science concerns itself about things for which some analytical evidence of sufficient particularity to allow analytical analysis exists.
