PS. Free will is not a given. We have no evidence that we have free will. From a hypothetical standpoint, the universe is perfectly consistent with the absence of free will.

And a predestined, preordained universe is entirely consistent with the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient god. Such a god is irrelevant from a practical standpoint, because we do nothing of our own volition.
