But the thing is, with determinism, there aren't infinite possibilities. There only is what previously/currently exists and what will happen.
Just because we can't predict something doesn't mean that it's not predictable.
Even if only God knows everything, by knowing everything, that prevents the existence of free will. It's not possible to have something that truly knows everything and have free will together.
You're more than welcome to your opinion on this. I just don't see free will as being any simpler or making more sense. We live in a world of cause & effect. Why would it make more sense to deny applying those rules to ourselves? :)
