Listen to yourself. If I know what you will do in the next 2 mins, and naturally that is what you will do, because I know it, me being all knowing. Where is teh choice here?
ok ok ok, you decide after 1 min to change what you were going to do in 2mins, but since I am all knowing, i still knew that you wil change your mind at the 1min mark. Where is the choice here?
By extension, I know everything that will ever happen to you down to the minute from the day you were concieved to the day I'll call you. Where is the choice here?
