Bismillah
"Sobhan Allah, without even realizing it, you've argued my point for me, Dan."
I hope that you are just being silly... but in case you are not...
Two people are in the same World Trade Center Tower. It collapses. One lives... One dies. Did not that terrorist want everyone to die? Whose decision was it ultimately? Better?
"DO YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM???"
I understand. You are trying to understand how the Creator can Know everything and still allow for freewill. Okay...
How about if the Creator did not know everything (astaghfirullah), that allows for freewill? But then He is no longer All-Knowing ((astaghfirullah). You CANNOT have an All-Powerful, All-Knowing Creator not know even the smallest bit. It denies an attribute. Big Sin.
As I pointed out, you (small and unknowing... just like me!) are trying to fathom the unfathomable. Have this circle be a square too. Cannot be done. It is against logic. Do we think for one moment that an ant understands religion, poetry, art, etc... NO! It is not in their capacity. That is how they are created. Same as us. It is enough to know that He is All-Powerful and All-Knowing, just as all the ant really has to know about me is that my picnics can provide some food.
