The argument from free will (also called the paradox of free will, or theological fatalism) contends that omniscience and free will are incompatible, and that any conception of God that incorporates both properties is therefore inherently contradictory.

These arguments are deeply concerned with the implications of predestination, and often seem to echo the standard argument against free will.
