This is indeed a far to extreme view of 'free will' that cannot be reconciled with the reality of the human journey in the real world.
The Baha'i scripture believes in free will within the limits of natural laws. The degree of free will and the what is limited by natural laws is not yet fully determined by science. What you refuse to acknowledge is the Baha'i Principle of the harmony of science and religion, where the interpretation and understanding of scripture concerning the nature of our physical existence, and the nature and degree of free will choices in our physical world would be determined in harmony with the sciences.
The result seer is we are worlds appart on belief in this area and not reconcilable. Likewise, considering the belief system of libertarian free will there is no resolution of your disagreement with Tassman and other materialists.
And you too dismiss science when it suits your religion - do you want to over the Adam thing again?

Your view toward science and the Baha'i Faith is a one way hostile uncompromising view based on your religious agenda.
There is no grounds for a dialogue here.
