no it doesnt exist because he wont pick it


The options still there, regardless of whether he picks it.
Can you really be this ignorant?

Your analogy is flawed because it doesn't take into an account omniscience.

Here is a simple demonstration to prove omniscience and free-will cannot co-exist:

There are two objects on a table: an apple and an orange.

God is omnipotent and knows with 100% accuracy you will pick up the apple.

Is it possible for you to pick up the orange?

If no - Then you don't have free-will
If yes - Then god is not omniscient, and is flawed.


In the instant that you're put forward an apple and an orange, and you pick one, how much of a percentage of choice do you have in the manner?

If not 100% then please explain what is forcing you in this instance to choose one or the other.

No it isnt impossible to pick it, you just know he wont, the option still exists.
If i had a choice between eggs or toast every morning for a million years and picked eggs every time, it doesnt mean i didnt have the choice of toast.

if you would never pick toast, it's like it doesn't exist because nothing would change if u took it away, meaning it isn't a choice, it's only a choice if you will pick it.
