The funny thing about free will, is that no matter how you look at it, it seems impossible. If everything is governed by physical laws (science, chemistry, etc.), then nothing happens outside the bounds of those laws. No room for free will there. On the other hand, if someone wants to argue that, based on subatomic physics, things happen that aren't governed by any known physical laws and are more accurately described in terms of randomness (which actually has a set of laws all its own), does freedom come out of randomness. Personally, I don't see how. Because *intention* isn't there, and without intention how can we talk about will?

It may not be apparent but there is always some kind of logic behind every decision, although the result may be illogical. Free will is only a perception. The rules governing any free willed act are based on set of unsaid rules. We merely make the selection of the rules available to its respective act. So the randomness lies in the selection process and the capacity of each individual to understand and recognize all the rules pertaining each decision. There are governing laws, however the intention lies in the rule selection process.
