Default Re: do we have free will?

[ QUOTE ]
premise 1: God exists outside of time.

premise 2: God can see the beginning and end of time (from premise 1).

premise 3: Therefore, God knows what everyone will do (from premise 2).

conclusion: we have no free will.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can know what will happen without the ability to affect the outcome.

Other problems with your argument:

1. You presuppose the existence of G-d.
2. G-d, assuming his existence, could have programmed free will into mankind's existence.
