Free will.

Wrong. If god knows what path we are going to take then we no longer have a choice, our actions are then predetermined and cannot be altered, ergo, no free will.

I know you still don't like that answer but your logic confuses me to no end.

You could be wrong, meaning the person could still choose something other than what you think in which case he still has free will. God supposedly can't be wrong, which means you can't make any other choice. How is it free will when there is only really one option?
