God can know the outcome, but nonetheless could have a good reason to let us work through it and "figure it out" for ourselves... much like a teacher lets students work through a math problem (so they learn) instead of just telling them the answer. In fact, the Bible even says the reason God doesn't just come back now and judge everyone is so that more people, through the process of lifes joys, sorrows, etc. will come to know the forgiveness of Christ and Him as their Savior. The way I understand it is that God may know what choices we're going to make, but we still have to make those choices ourselves so that we will face just punishment or just reward for how we live and what we beleive.
