This is my position. I have real difficulty with the use of language in describing God's "thoughts" that come up in this debate. As if God is literally writing down or drafting a plan and he has some future thought that he must blind himself from in order to think about the Fall and sin. As Augustine put it, "all of time is spread out before God" there is no past, present, future in God. At least, not how us finite creatures think about time (which God is outside of / transcends).
