My point is that we were never alive at all. We have no consciousness because of determinism, we follow a path that cannot be changed.

This doesn't follow. Consciousness does not necessitate free will. Just because it's an emergent property of a complex set of deterministic chemical reactions in our brains doesn't mean it somehow isn't real.
