On what basis do you make this claim? There have been hypothesis in the past that there are other universes - the problem being that they can neither be proved nor disproved, and thus they haven't recieved much serious attention.

I didn't say you had. It appears you missed the qualifier "if" . . . and then you ignored the rest of the statement about quantum mechanics, which does leave room for non-determinism (one way of saying free will).
However, if you don't postulate that, then you leave the option of an independent soul open, which would really throw determinism out the window.
