Cognitive dissonance

[robvalue]

I'd like to offer an explanation for this one;

3A) God knows everything we're going do to, before we do it, because he knows everything.

3B) We are free to make genuine choices.

Let's say I had a mouse that could find its way to the centre of a maze where there was a piece of cheese. I could observe that mouse make free-will decisions to turn left or right as he goes. Now even though I know exactly which way he will turn, I am in no way interfering with his free will.

How do you know which way he will turn, if he hasn't decided yet? How do you know he won't just sit there and do nothing?

If this information is available before it has happened, then the mouse cannot make any other choice.

Let's say I genuinely know what you're going to do in the next ten minutes, and I then tell you that information, in detail. Can you choose to do anything differently from what I've told you?
