However, knowing what the outcome of a man or woman's free will will be does not mean that (s)he does not have free will. It is possible for God to know how a man or woman will exercise their free will and at the same time not interfere with it.

Free Will exists, it is simply the ability to make choice, God simply knows what those choices are, before they happen.
This however brings up the question as to why god would create evil things, knowing them to be evil.
