Kanzu999 Because we don't have a brain, we ARE our brain. All these processes combined make us, our conscience. It's not some ghostly soul, but a whole bunch of firing neurons. The way you phrase your sentences is like saying, a radio cannot play music, because it's the parts inside who play. It's more of a symbiosis, and less of "well that neuron decided that I eat some ice cream, I don't have any free will".
Also we are in control of or are able to influence certain processes inside us. If we tell ourself, that we are strong, we actually become stronger and faster without seeing any difference. If keep telling ourself that we are sick, we become sick. That's something a computer cannot do.

Kanzu999 When I said "we are our brain" and you said "We do not control what our brain does", then you already misunderstood me. Our brain controls what our brain does and since we = our brain, it means we control what we do/our brain does, and vice versa. That's how I see it. German's top brain and psychology researcher said this, and I think it's very clever. Obviously it is also simplified statement, it's the processes which makes up consciousness and so on and so forth. We could overcomplicate things all day long, but I'm not into it, you will have to do it alone. And... "Our brain chooses for us" doesn't work with this concept.
What would you say, does our brain have free will?
Also, speculating what would be different when we would go back in time, while disallowing any atom to move differently, is kind of pointless, don't you think?

Kanzu999 You repeat yourself for the 3rd time now. Also while repeating you to write a whole lot of text.
First, if we restart time from some state in the past.. isn't there some quantum processes that still occur randomly? Like radioactive decay, quantum jumps and other stuff? If not and it's really deterministic (or if we so decide for our discussion), then there is really no point at all in discussing time travel.
Secondly, even though some state in time makes things mostly deterministic and our "free-will-decisions" have already been decided trillions of years ago, I don't agree that this nullifies our free will. I just see it differently. No point explaining, though, because..
Lastly: you've shown me now that you don't listen at all, since I said several times now that talking about time travel makes no sense, if nothing changes anyway, and you keep talking about it. And with my last comment I said that you leave no room for a discussion, which made you repeat everything all over again. Maybe you only like listening to yourself. But clearly you don't listen to me. So there's no point for me staying here.
So. Feel free to repeat yourself for the 4th time, before I'll.. erm... deterministically ignore you. :-P
