Can Free Will Exist If God Knows Everything?

If God already knows every choice you will ever make, in what sense could those choices still be free? The conflict between divine foreknowledge and human freedom: why saying “knowledge does not cause choice” only answers part of the problem, how infallibility changes the question, and why philosophers have tried to reconcile freedom with an all-knowing God through very different accounts of time, necessity, and free will. The deeper issue is not simply whether God causes our decisions. It is whether a future can remain genuinely open if an infallible mind already knows exactly what will happen.
