Abstract Molinists hold that there are contingently true counterfactuals about what agents would do if put in specific circumstances, God knows these prior to creation, and uses this knowledge choosing how create. In essay we critique Molinism, arguing theses were true, not be free. Consider Eve’s sinning upon being tempted by a serpent. We argue Molinism is then some set of facts fully explains both action everything else Eve does influences action; the case, act freely. The first premise argument follows from explanatory relations Molinist committed to, second libertarian intuitions free will.
