If God knows not only everything I have done and am doing but everything I will do, and if God is infallible then there is no possibility that I can do anything but what God already knows I do, then do I have free will?

When I watched my young kids I could predict with a high degree of accuracy what they were going to do next. Was I robbing them of their free will? I think God knows us pretty well - better than we know ourselves. And he's a little smarter than me.

Of course you do! It's not a matter of whether God knows what you'll do - of course he does. But you don't.
