That's not a position, it's a logical consequence of omniscience. If the future -can be- known, we only think that we're making choices. We're actually just progressing towards the inevitability required for the future to be known. I've always wondered why the religious don't just drop that one little tidbit. Maybe god doesn't know the future, perhaps it simply cannot be known..gods omniscience is limited to what -can be- known, there's nothing illogical about god...right? There, dilemma solved, free will maintained. ..... What's the problem with that?
