The Argument from Divine Omniscience

The Argument from Divine Omniscience is a philosophical argument for the existence of God. It is based on the premise that God is omniscient, or all-knowing. If God is omniscient, then he must know everything that will happen in the future. This includes the actions of human beings. If God knows that a person will commit a crime, then it is logically impossible for that person not to commit that crime. This argument has been used by philosophers and theologians to argue that free will is incompatible with the existence of an omniscient God.
