ah, but playing devil's advocate, so to speak, what about the fact that you have a computer, and are a member of the TFproject? if you had not chosen to join, and chosen to log in during this particular day to see these particular posts, would you have made the same decisions, and posted the same comments?
on the same page xazy, if your nephew had a different babysitter that day, would he have had the same option of watching TV that he did because you were there?
basically, if a being is omniscient, and truly knows all, there is the issue of free will even within these relatively simple choices.
omniscience implies infallability of knowledge (for if one truly knows all, then one cannot be wrong about anything or else one is not truly omniscient) with this in mind, we return to the issue of free will. if our diety-of-choice knows everything we are going to do, and is infallable in this knowledge, we cannot do anything other than that which is known to said deity, and hence, no free will.
on the other page, if a god is not truly omniscient, this argument falls apart (but assuming a god is not all-knowing leads to its own problems)
additionally, my original opposition of time-not-applying-to-god still causes problems for this argument as well.
