I know someday I will die, GOD knows I will die also. So why wait then, lets remove the purpose of freewill and off ourselves since then no matter what we do god knew we would and therefore we are only following his master plan and therefore it isnt freewill. I guess that removes hell as a punishment, since GOD is the only person to blame and GOD is infallable so no matter what we do, its on GOD and not us.

There is so much on this thread that demonstrates a misunderstanding about free will, and God's all knowing nature, it's hard to pick the right spot to butt in. But this is as good a place as any.

Current science supposes that the whole of the Universe emerged in a "Big Bang" event. Yes, I know that's not the only Theory, but it's the one with the most traction at this time.

The big bang isn't matter exploding out into empty space. It's matter AND empty space AND time exploding out of...for a lack of better word...nothing.

God is outside of ALL of that. He isn't dragged along sequentially by Time as are we. So he can create us with free will, and know the outcome of our lives before it happens FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE INSIDE THE CONFINES OF TIME.

You misunderstand, I am sarcastically using wildturkeys wild ideas against him, I am showing him the fallacy of his reasoning by demonstrating it, tell him not me.
