Just because we don't know what we'll be doing in the future (thus giving the appearance of "free will"), doesn't mean God, who has seen it all before He made Adam, would consider us endowed with "free will".
We're doing what He has foreseen. And it was always within His power to determine the course of every event. By creating the universe, He knew every event. Had he created a universe with differences, He'd know different events would occur.
So from God's point of view, why would anyone assume we have "free will". Wouldn't that mean we have the power to surprise God with our choices? Or isn't it more likely God's foresight when making the universe included taking into account all our choices and the ways we'd react to each other and the world around us?
