I think some people simply aren't grasping how if all actions are already known, there is no free will.
They keep saying God just already knows what everyone will do, but we still freely chose it. I think they are really missing that if all variables can be known by God enough to determine the outcome, then that outcome is determined, not freely chosen.
Now if god saw a lot of branching possibilities but didn't know which outcome would happen, there could be freedom there, but no detailed master plan.
The 2 simply aren't compatible.
