God created humans in his image. (Genesis 1:26) Unlike animals, which act mainly on instinct, we resemble our Creator in our capacity to display such qualities as love and justice. And like our Creator, we have free will.

Our success or failure is not determined by fate. If we want to succeed at an endeavor, we must work hard. “All that your hand finds to do,” says the Bible, “do with your very power.”(Ecclesiastes 9:10) It also says: “The plans of the diligent one surely make for advantage.”—Proverbs 21:5.

Are we viewing free will from a scientific perspective, where we are able to predict and dissect reality? If so, how is this point of view exempt from the falsehood of human perspective?

We make our own choices, the choices we make effect our lives. When people decide what religion they want to believe, what they want to wear for the day, or what they want to eat that's their choices, that's free will.

Argument: Choice is based on self benefit

We can only choose the option that best suits our needs, or at least that we believe will fulfill is the most. Even when we are trying to do things for other people, we are mostly benefiting ourselves, because helping them is what we want to do the most, so it will fulfill us the most. Although people make choices that are purposefully self-destructive, they still do them for some sort of benefit; maybe they enjoy being sad, or enjoy having pity and something to complain about.

Our choices are the results of our experiences and our instincts; we don't choose what to do. Every decision we make will be because of things that happened to us, and how things affected us. Any decision we make will be entirely controlled by these factors, so even though we think we are choosing, really we are just doing what we have to do.

The divide between humans in the case of class for example, if free will existed we wouldn't have cases of determinism extinguished by pressures of external forces like poverty, hunger and fear of death.

Many argue that if we were so analytical to the point that we could predict every factor contributing to change, we could define the exact outcome of every situation. In this aspect, the decisions of a human being. This would be true if there were a finite amount of factors, however, because the factors are infinite, there is no way to truly define the future. 'Infinite' is not just a very very large number. Infinite is INFINITE.  I would say however, that external factors do define what we decide. But if this is true, is free will rendered obsolete?

Can free will exists with divine preordination?

Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded. Free will is closely linked to the concepts of responsibility, praise, guilt, sin, and other judgements which apply only to actions that are freely chosen.
