Only if the person who knows and the person making the choice are both constrained by time. You're still having a metaphysical discussion using only physical axioms.

Uh, not sure if you realize this but we live in a physical world constrained by time. Now that I have informed you of this, are you ready to admit that omniscience and free will are contradictory?

That was my point all along. That's why, by definition, your physical arguments cannot directly apply to something that is metaphysical.

To your second point, no, just the same as I wouldn't outright reject the analogous points or theories made in the field of theoretical physics based solely on studies in traditional physics. Your desire to apply logic based only on your limited physical perspective to discussions on religion and philosophy will only frustrate you.

It makes no difference, logic doesn't change between physical and metaphysical. It's simply logic.

And Free Will and determinism can't work. Sorry. If you can't understand, maybe you never will.
