As humans, I agree...but we are talking about God, who cannot be wrong. If He knows we are going to do something, wouldn’t that mean we have to do it? After all, He created us, knowing what we will do.

God doesn't choose to foresee every decision we make and therefore allows us to have free will. If it were otherwise, it would have been wrong on God's part to punish Adam and Eve, since they were only doing what he created them to do.
