Predestination and Free Will Philosophy

It isn't difficult to demonstrate the compatibility of human free will with God's omniscience.

Quick, choose a number between 1 and 50! Got it?

Now, truthfully, I don't care what number you chose. And I doubt God cares, either. But the point is this:

Do you really think God didn't know, at the Creation, which number you just now chose? At the same time, did His foreknowledge in any way negate your choice?

His knowing in eternity does not preclude our temporal decisions.
