When you ask if our brains are emergent properties, don't you really mean our minds, or do you not make any distinction between the brain, and the mind? Also, doesn't the mind being an emergent property only potentially give the appearance of free will? Even if it appears that we have free will, does that really mean that we have free will? What about the P 300 wave research which shows that people have P 300 spikes before they are even conscious of making a decision.
