Good. If you actually pick B, you will end the conversation just at the point we might be making progress.
Quote:He simply knows i will pick B because he has foreknowledge what will pick. And that choice is already contingent with what he knows...
Yes, so he has knowledge of both the possible choices (i.e. possible outcomes) AND the actual choice.
This means that his knowledge of the ACTUAL outcome DOES NOT conflict with the reality of the possible choices.
In other words, it can't be an actual choice if there are no truly possible choices.
If god knows both, then he knows that your "ending this conversation" IS a choice, one real contingency along with one possible contingency.
If that is the case, then an all-knowing god is compatible with real choices.
Are those choices free? That is a different question.
