predestination

Predestination is a fascinating theory on the way in which our past, present, and future come about. It basically means that, from a religious point of view, God, being all knowing, already knows our future and every choice we'll make from here on out. Some say this means we have no free will since He already knows what we'll do, but I don't really understand how that changes the way in which we're free to make our own decisions. Just because He knows what they're going to be doesn't mean we aren't allowed to make them. We can still decide whether or not we want to buy a ferrari or use that money to donate to an orphanage. Even though God knows what decision we'll make on the matter, doesn't change our freedom to make it. I do believe in predestination in the fact that there is a higher power who knows what our "destinations" will be, but I still think that we are the ones who decide what that "destination" will be.
