Free will

In #wordpress_migration

After a discussion with a friend about Nostradamus, I realized that the existence of prophets conflicts with the idea of free will: if the future is written in such a way that we can make definite predictions years ahead of time, then the choices of people can mean nothing...they are thus not free. Perhaps this is true, but I find it interesting that Christianity (and probably other religions) has free will as a basic axiom, and yet prophets are a common and fill an important component of the faith!
