Here's the whole argument:

How can we have free will if everything that ever was and will be is known by god? If he set everything in motion, and knew every outcome (including all our actions), how can we be said to have free will? How can any of our choices really be our choices if he created us knowing what those choices would be?

The only answer that comes close is the one that says that god created everything, but then stepped back. He gave us free will to make our own choices (even though he knew/knows what those choices are).

But this argument negates the idea of miracles. You can't say god has stepped back if he interferes with things directly by way of miracles. And if god directly does things whenever he wants, doesn't that imply that everything that happens is gods choice, not ours?

Alternatively, if things happen that aren't gods will, then he's not really omnipotent.

You can't argue for all three. Are there flaws here?
