Well that's quantum uncertainty settled. No-one can believe in an omniscient God and Freewill either since that would mean God would not know what any individual is going to do. Qantum physics and a view of the material world as the summation of all possibilities is the only true reconciliation. Mystics always said very much the same thing, that there are many probable worlds but they do not really exist in any physical sense.
