Which then raises the question of how 'free will' exists simultaneously with the god you believe in. A god who knows and has planned for the future. If this god knows for certain what I will eat for breakfast tomorrow then it is predetermined.
It's curious that your god, an all perfect being, is apparently unable to create the world exactly as they want it. Instead, they decide to use a tedious and self indulgent narrative to achieve it over an immense period of time. At best your god is pretty inefficient.
