known to God before you were born, you had no free will.

That's ridiculous, just knowing what someone will do before hand doesn't their negate free will, knowing isn't interference or control

If God knows all you will do BEFORE you are born, you have no free will to do other than what he has already planned for you to do. Doing otherwise would mean that God was not God.

Nonsense. If you have the ability to create some from nothing, with any characteristics you choose, and you choose to create something whose behavior is entirely knowable in advance, then you have not created something with free will.
