I've often wondered how we have "free will" if God already knows what we're going to do before we do it. Then, I thought about this analogy.

Imagine a parent setting a plate of chocolate chip cookies in front of a group of children at a birthday party. Even though she doesn't know for sure, the parent "knows" that the children will eat the cookies based on a high probability. Therefore, even though the kids had a choice, the parent already knew what they'd do before they did it. So, imagine God doing this on a grander scale.

eeeh...Just an effort to grasp the ungraspable.
