I've always found this issue interesting.
The best response I've had to brewer's question was that things aren't predestined but that God simply sees the paths that we can take -and of course knows beforehand what we will do- and lets us run.
Frankly that still sounds like, for all intents and purposes, predestination to me. An original answer was nice for a change though.
