You simply cannot get around it. God creates those He knows will burn in hell.It is still their choice.
Although the Calvinist denies her own free will, she has it anyway. That denial of free will is itself an exercise of free will.

Yes, it's still their choice, unaided by the Holy Spirit and hampered by an inability to choose righteously which only the Holy Spirit imparts.
