There absolutely is. Neuroscience is still in its infant stages, and the hows and whys of the "neurological impulses" you're talking about is still being researched and debated.
Metaphysical frameworks ≠ automatic assumption of some spiritual element. Arguments for and against free will, or compatibilism, all rely on some metaphysical framework.
If you have a side in the argument, that's fine. I'm not going to debate with you if free will is right or wrong, because I doubt we'll get anywhere if we do disagree. But I think you would do well to understand what words like "metaphysics" entail.
It's a complex topic. I'd agree that at the lower level, it is very easy to justify something like rehabilitation and restorative justice. But once you start climbing the ladder in terms of atrocities, especially with contingent factors like ideologies etc, the whole discourse starts to become muddled. I don't think there's a one size fits all approach.
It's literally just the belief that the universe is a closed, predictable system without any actually chaotic elements. Therefore, everything is a result of the things that preceded it in one massive causal chain going back to the Big Bang and before.
There's some stuff at the most fundamental levels of physics that chaos is one hypothesis for but there's no current reason to privilege that hypothesis over others, and in any case once you get above the subatomic level things start behaving incredibly predictably again.
This is incoherent. What does this even mean? It seems like you're just throwing out stuff after some cursory reading you did online
