The "free will" you and me would be experiencing right now would be an illusion of free will.The "free will" you and me would be experiencing right now would be an illusion of free will.
Well, I can understand why you might think that, but I am inviting you to consider a more detailed understanding of freedom as well as the relationship between a God who creates and the creation itself. I fully understand that you are not convinced that such a god even exists, so please try to understand that I am happy to speak of god only in a hypothetical manner.
Have you considered the possibility that you are conflating metaphysical necessity with determination?
