Humans may have free will - but it is also possible to know humans so well
that you can know well in advance what they are going to do - say - or
think.
You may put something in front of a human - say a really interesting book -
and the human may be interested - pick it up - buy it - read it or they may
not. This is free will. But if you know this human very well - you would
know whether he will pick up the book and buy and read or not.
Thus the future is known.
