So explain why ultimate foreknowledge is a problem?

One reason is that if a reasonable person knows someone is about to do something wrong, they stop them don't they? Again, why is your god less moral than your father?
​
Another reason is why on earth would he do it anyway? He knows the answer, why run the experiment if you know the outcome? If all he wants to do is fill up heaven, the very least he should do is not run the experiment at all and put the winners directly into heaven.

I think this is a new standard of bonkers.
