As far as being all-knowing contradicting free will... Not sure how you're reaching that. For example: Just because I knew you were going to buy that Sentra three weeks before even you did, didn't stop you from buying it, did it?
"Gods will" absolutely contradicts free will. It's claimed that god is all knowing and all powerful. If I was god, and I knew you were going to murder someone, exactly when, where, and how, and I could do something to stop it, but didn't, would that make "gods will" evil?

NOT debating would be pointless. Debate is a powerful tool we as intellectual humans use to expose others to different ideas and viewpoints and advance society. The great thing about science actually is that debate and peer review is encouraged
