If God is Omniscient and Omnipotent, Predestination is Evident

"We believe that we are given free will in this life, but Allah knows beforehand where we will end up and what we will do beforehand. " So my opponent here concedes that god knowingly created us, also knowing our fate. "The question of fate and free will is one of the most intriguing topics in metaphysics and religion. Man feels absolutely powerless, regarding many of the circumstances in which he/she finds him/herself. One might feel that there are so many givens, which one has to take for granted, and nothing can be done about them. On the other hand, there are many areas where one feels free to act. Look at the marvelous progress of humanity through the centuries. "If humans were mere puppets, could we have managed all these wonderful achievements, which have made us so proud of human potential? " We are proud because we believe we were responsible for it. My opponent claims that God just knows and does not intervene with our decisions. Sadly, this does not exempt us from predestination. Even if god does not intervene with our decisions, if he already KNEW our decisions prior to our existence predstination is evident. Furthermore, predestination is not incompatible with "If humans were mere puppets, could we have managed all these wonderful achievements, which have made us so proud of human potential? " statement. God could have sipmly predestined that we "manage all these wonderful achievements", as god is omnipotent, this is no issue at all. "Indeed the question of pre-destination and free will has haunted Man for so long; but it has been adequately dealt with in the Holy Qur'an. " We shall see. "From the Qur'anic point of view, Man is not completely a master of his fate; nor is he a puppet subject to the hazards of destiny. It is true that God's sovereignty is all pervading and nothing falls outside its purview. " "This means that God knows everything and it is according to His will, things happen here. The universe is completely subject to the overriding power of God, and nothing happens without God willing it to be so. " I agree to this 100%. Especially : "The universe is completely subject to the overriding power of God, and nothing happens without God willing it to be so. " Key word : Without God willing it to be so. So if my free will was against the will of God, then what? Nothing aside from what "God is willing it be so", so how can I be held accountable for anything? What "free" choices I made was what God willing it to be so. "However, God not only created everything, but He determined its nature and scope. In His infinite wisdom and mercy, He gave Man limited power and great freedoms, including the freedom of choice. " Complete contradiction. We do not have "freedom of choice" if only what "God is willing it be so" can happen. End of story. "It is because of this autonomy, enjoyed by Man, that he/she is held accountable for the individual deeds. " No. As stated above: if God's will is the only thing that can be done, I cannot be held accountable for God's will. What my opponent is saying is this: God: There is choice A and choice B. Choice A = good, Choice B = Bad. You will choose Choice B, it is my will that you do. But you can still choose because you have freedom. But know that my will is inexorable, and you must choose choice B. But I'm giving you a choice. A choice to choose B. Me: I choose B. God: You have sinned. You are accountable for your free choices and evil deeds. Go to hell. My opponent: "Couldn't have said it better. " My friend, I am sorry to hear that. Note: my arguments in round 1 have yet to be countered.
