First off, is randomness a coherent concept?
Quick aside:
is the universe infinite or finite?
The answer is: move on, neither answer affects daily life.
I'd give the same answer to the question of free will.
Also, you claim your arguement isn't based on god, but suppose you don't have free will (which, by asking the question you admit it's a possibility) then who or what is controlling you? Your big toe? Remember, god is really just a word used to explain things we don't fully understand.
