What choice? Can you choose b if a is an inevitably certainty? Is this a free choice? In what sense?
I don;t think that free will is somehow tied or synonymous with choice..and I doubt that it;s a lack of understanding that brings me to that skeptical position. Choice is selection. No free will required. If omni god has incorrigible knowledge of the future (or if such knowledge exists)..there's no free will to be had in choice anyway. Personally, I think it lends itself well to superstition...but there may be a reason that we concieve of our selections as meaningfully free choices.
