How can omniscience and free will coexist?
There are two ways for free will to coexist with free will that I can think of:
1. An Omniscient being knows all possible outcomes. That is to say, you have free will, and knows what will happen no matter what you choose. I don't really like this one though, because, being omniscient, the being would know what choice you would make.
2. The better explanation is this: a being's omniscience does not affect another's free will. For example, let's say there is no God, no omniscient conciousness out there. We wouldn't have any problem saying we have free will(at least in this example). Now what if you were suddenly given the gift(or curse) of omniscience. How? I don't know, you figured out why the chicken crossed the road. Anyways, does your omniscience destroy the ability to choose of the rest of the world? My answer is no. Just because you know what they will do does not make their choices any less real to them.
it's interesting..
