And by your assertion, God doesn't want us to have knowledge (of his existence). So he doesn't want us to have free will.this is the definition i found on the web "the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion." you need knowledge to carry out this task
you have to be aware of different paths you can take, you have to know that you are able to make that decision. you have to know how to carry out that decision. you have to know that you exist. those are all information
Disbelief is the default. It requires no knowledge, thought or reasoning to not believe something. Every one of us does not believe in millions of things which we've never heard of.I just told you I cannot choose to believe or not believe.

One of the basic rules of the scientific method is that the burden of proof always falls on the person who makes a positive assertion. The duty never falls on the skeptic to disprove the assertion.
Tell me spider recall a moment in your life when it was a close call you almost died and you dont know how that car just missed hitting you that heavy heavy box just missed falling on your head "Spider sense" of course is it but explain to me why you would have this innate system built into your awareness in the first place...ha I already know you already have all the answears.So less knowledge = more free will?
If that car had hit me I wouldn't be here talking to you. This would be true no matter who you talk to. We don't have some special sense to avoid accidents, other than our normal senses, they happen all the time.Tell me spider recall a moment in your life when it was a close call you almost died and you dont know how that car just missed hitting you that heavy heavy box just missed falling on your head "Spider sense" of course is it but explain to me why you would have this innate system built into your awareness in the first place...ha I already know you already have all the answears.
Exactly "my friend" then ask yourself why are you here talking to me? why did that innocent baby die? Is the physical real? why are we all so obsessed with dreams and non realities, fantacies, virtual worlds??If that car had hit me I wouldn't be here talking to you.

Distracting myself with non-related conversations helps my subconscious brain arrive at solutions to problems at work.Exactly "my friend" then ask yourself why are you here talking to me?
Because for disease and disaster, innocence and guilt are irrelevant.why did that innocent baby die?
It's the only thing that's real.Is the physical real?
Because they aren't real. Reality can be boring.why are we all so obsessed with dreams and non realities, fantacies, virtual worlds??

Space is physical too. It isn't nothing. It has qualities, it can be bent by gravity, it is the source of particles that emerge spontaneously...
Now define "physical"It has dimension, temperature, contents... I suppose one could argue that physical things are made not of "material" but space-time.
Now I see you are opening your mind...I still need you to define physical first.It has dimension, temperature, contents... I suppose one could argue that physical things are made not of "material" but space-time.
