Chinook,

Under the all knowing omni idea of god, he knows all the possibilities and he knows what the outcome will be. He cannot be surprised by what we do; alpha and omega, he knows with absolute certainty the primary and end state of his creation. In other words he's built a complex clock and we are just the workings therein. We do not under that premise have free will, we imagine we do, the many paths we appear to face are in reality merely the one god knows with absolute certainty that we will take.
