Can one reconcile an omniscient God with one who does not know more than probabilistically what we will do in the future? I think one can. If one defines “omniscient” to be knowing everything there is to know, then God would be omniscient and still not know exactly what we will do. We have our free will and God has his omniscience.
I don’t speak for any religion. I am sure some religious people think we have no free will because God knows everything (more than what there is to know). However, I think that leads to a contradiction. Not that it really matters since a religion is about establishing a relationship to God, not obtaining philosophic knowledge.
