Child: hey mom where'd god come from
Mother: well he's just always been here
Child: where did the earth come from?

Mom: i told you he's always been here
Child: well who made god
Mother: no one did he's just always been here

It is physically impossible to manifest yourself out of nowhere and choose between options. A prerequisite of events always exists — hence why free will is physically impossible.

I never said i was manifested out of no where. You assumed that.
There are two aspects of free will you seem to be overlooking:
