this is an interesting question. i have asked myself looking looking back at my life if there are any choices that i could have made differently if nothing else changed and i didn't know then what i know now. and my conclusion is that no, i would not have changed anything. wanting to believe that i could have made a different choice is wishful thinking likely influenced by regret about bad choices. there was no decision that was entirely random yet strongly influencing the future. however, here is an idea for a possible proof that free will exists: the freedom to believe in god or not. there is nothing in the world or in ones life that can determine that belief. sure, certain experiences can influence that belief, but nothing can determine it. we always have the freedom to either believe or not believe in god. and we can change our mind any time. on the other hand, the choice whether to believe in god or not is able to influence every other choice we make.
