Omniscience and free will are unconciliable

One of the most absurdities that theists shamelessly affirm, is that though God knows everything that is going to happen in our lives before we live it, we still have the choice to do what we want without God intervention. Well let's submit this to a close logicak examination.
God is omniscient : thus there is nothing He doesn't know
He knows everything about anyone's life before it was ever lived.
Let's take a example : Someone will be raised in a muslim family. He won't accept the divinity of Jesus and he will commit murder, then rape a young girl, and after being involved in a consequent robbery, he will get arrested and be put to death at his 28. Of course, according to the scriptures, he's doomed to go to hell.
But didn't God know that it will happen ?
Sure He did. If it didn't happen, God's mistaken which is impossible.
But since it happend, didn't that mean that God predestined this guy to this very life ? Sure. If not, God wouldn't be aware of what is going to happen and will have to wait til this man come to life and then follow his deeds step by step without knowing anything before. That would be more fair, but in the same time God will be ignorant which is impossible.
So the only logical conclusion to be drawn is : God predestines us so He's it not to judge us.
