Hi FKHansen
I disagree that God being omniscient means free will does not exist.
The knowledge of what choice will be made in a situation is not what resolves the choice; that alone comes from the persons ability to choose.
For example, I know that if I buy my wife a box of chocolates, she will eat too many of them at once and so make herself feel slightly sick.
However, her action is not caused my knowledge, or in any way related to it. Her action it is only caused by her own choice. My knowledge and her choice are completely independent.
(I am not claiming to be omniscient personally, only giving an analogy lol).
