“At birth, yes. What happens after that is a result of free will.”

So the assertion that we are equal lasts for just the instant after we’re born, or after conception, right?

Seems like a rather useless assertion if it only applies to .00000001% of a human life.

As for free will, doesn’t God know what we’re going to do in the future since he’s omniscient, and if so there is no such thing as free will. All my future decisions have been predetermined. Right?

It is also the basis for how one should be treated under law, so in reality, it lasts one's entire life.

"As for free will, doesn’t God know what we’re going to do in the future since he’s omniscient, and if so there is no such thing as free will.

Since he is omniscient, he sees all POSSIBLE futures. We choose which one(s) become reality."

"All my future decisions have been predetermined. Right?"

No.
