So I just watched this video on YouTube and found it quite interesting. I'm still thinking over it and trying to figure out exactly what my thoughts are, but I'd also like to get some other input on it. What do you all think about it? Does free will exist?

So far I say yes it does exist, this dude is full of shit. He explains his argument using only quantum and microscopic proof. We do not live in the world of atoms and molecules, we live in the macroscopic world. The world of trees, thoughts, emotions, and instinct. Sure free will may not exist on a microscopic level (that is yet to be determined); but in the scope of our existance free will thrives. Our choices are our own, I will not bow to fate.
Thoughts?
