There was rebellion and war in heaven.
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not; neither was there place found any more in heaven and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world; he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him" Revelation 12:7-9.
Anyone or anything that can rebel or sin against God has a free will.
Humans are higher in authority than angels. We will even judge angels, 1 Corinthians 6:3.
This is what may have caused the rebellion in heaven. The word got out that God was going to create humans that would be greater than angels and would judge angels.
I can't see where there is anything on this earth that lives and breathes and does not have a free will. I live in the country. We have bears, deer, racoons, foxes, etc, that are all doing their own thing. Nothing is programed to act or to do a certain thing. Some times these animals even interact with each other.
There is a lot of randomness in nature. We never know what to expect. Sometimes it snows in October. Sometimes it snows in November. Last year it didn't snow until December. There is no set pattern to anything, nothing is programed to act in a certain way.
