There is also a scientific theory that postulates time as a construct of the human mind, a means by which we relate to the universe around us to give it some kind of order we can understand, but which doesn't actually exist. (I shall have to ask my husband to dig up the material he gave me on this, as I've lost track of it.) If this theory is true, then the concepts of some being outside this human imposed system "knowing" what "will happen in the future" becomes a moot point from the human perspective, since we know the world as we perceive it, and not necessarily as it really is. Some of its functions may well be beyond
our grasp, because of the limitations we have as we exist in this flesh, but once outside the restrictions and perceptions of a finite body, that perception might be considerably different, and aspects of the infinite in its reality easier to comprehend. It may well be possible for an omniscient Eru, outside the limits of Time, to coexist with free will, but perceiving how this could be so within the construct of Time may not be possible.
Did that make any kind of sense? This is what I get for going online too soon after waking up....
