This is like "the chicken or the egg" - There is no possible valid answer. You guys can argue for the rest of your life about it and you still won't be able to come to a proper, factual conclusion.
Let's use Bobby as an example. Bobby believes that he DOES have free will, as he can do whatever he wants. He tells himself that if he really wanted, he could go and kill himself at any given time.
Does Bobby have free will? I guess you could say that, but if you were to bring in the element of fate, things changed. Although he seemingly can kill himself whenever HE decides to, who are we to say that he wasn't DESTINED to day at that time, completely unknowing?
As I said, there is no correct answer.

One day, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
