You can't have free will if an entity knows all existence because the knowledge presupposes that existence has already occured in it's entirety for it to be known.

Yes you can. I bet you can go into a store and order the same thing every day. The chef knows what you're going to order before you do. You hesitate and look at the menu. But then you order what you always do. He knew that you would. But you'd still maintain you ordered freely. No one was controlling you.

Even if mad scientists were controlling you with chips in your brain. They would know what your order would be. But after your order, you would maintain that you ordered freely, unknowing about the mad scientists who controlled you.

In conclusion, free will and belief in your own personal free will do not depend a lot on someone already knowing you're going to do something.
