    To be devils advocate here (ha irony):

    The main argument against this by Christians would be, that God gives us free will that he does not control because that it objectively and ultimately good, and he is all good, so he must give us uncontrollable free will.

    An alternative argument would just be that he’s god, and we can’t comprehend how he must have done/sees things, but it says it in the bible so it’s true and we have no right to question it.

    That second one is not a funny exaggeration, but something I heard said very seriously growing up in church. Somewhat to their credit, worshiping a god does imply an ultimate unquestionable authority, so this would happen at a certain point no matter what, from the perspective of the religious.
