Whenever the "no free will => we would be robots" rubbish gets brought up, I just point them straight to their own book and show them that Adam & Eve *knew* of God's existence, yet they rebelled. Lucifer was another who *knew* of God's existence and was in his *direct presence* yet he rebelled as well. In short, the Bible supports perfectly the notion that undeniably knowing about God's existence wouldn't actually rob us of our free will.
