(Mr. Collins forgot something - God's Will! A man might choose to do God's Will.)
"FREE WILL is the theory that human beings have he power to make their own choices about what they will do. It implies that a person [MAN] is able to decide for himself which of several courses of action he will follow. The theory opposite to free will is determinism. Many kinds of derminism exist, but determinists believe that people [ANIMALS] do not really make choices. There are two ways of looking at free will. One view is that all human actions are free because they come spontaneously from within. Midway between this theory and determinism is the position that in some actions people are determined, and in some they are free. People have free will when they can deliberate and choose between alternate plans." - James Collins
