Nah man it's all good, I honestly don't care if you believe are not, as it isn't gonna change my life in any way (at least I don't think it will). I'm just trying to say, yes some people believe he knows the future, and their reason for that is that he made us knowing that we will sin. He told Adam and Eve not to eat the apple, and they did. They were punished for their sins so they could be taught a lesson. Basically, God's omniscience of the future does not overrule free will. If I know someone is about to go outside, does that make them going outside my will rather than theirs? Knowledge does not remove freedom. God does not determine what we do. He gives us the freedom to do was we wish. That's the idea. There is no way I could prove to you that God is real and all, but you have no solid proof that a God is fake too. It's all believing in what you want. Nobody is going to truly know if God is real until we die unless he comes down from heaven to speak with you himself.
