My father said that you have free will, but God knows what decision you'll make.

Suppose you make one decision, and change your mind at the last minute.

If your changing your mind was completely predictable, how could it be 'free will'?

If I could see into the future and predict everything, would that stop you from having free will, even if I don't know you and never tell you anything about my predictions?

Our local TV weatherman makes 'predictions', but I've NEVER seen him doing a raindance! ;^)
