In order to create at least the perception of free will, you have to create a solution that moves towards it's own perfection, by it's own choices, and within a consecutive framework of 'time'.
If time was missing, the creature would be in a fixed state resulting in no real free will.
And if it was perfect from the beginning, it would need no changes, and thus the idea of 'free will' would be moot.
So surely it would make sense to have the perfect solution of creatures obtained through the course of time, by their own choices and interaction with environment ?
Forgive me if this makes little sense, I'm not feeling particularly well today :)
Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
