Are you saying that an all-powerful God is not able to
create man with free will?

A perfectly valid Philosphy 101 conundrum. Rephrasing of the classic "can
an omnipotent being create a mountain he cannot move?"

On the other hand, Jay probably would've flunked the class...

I'm saying it would illogical for Him to do so.

Logic has nothing to do with omnipotence. An omnipotent being certainly can
act illogically, should he choose.

Omnipotence implies that He knows everything -- including the next choice
you are about to make.

Someone else knowing what you're going to do does not mean you have no free
will. It simply means he knows what you're going to do. As long as you are
still capable of making the decision one way or the other, you have free
will.

Sounds like you're confusing the omnipotence of a single being with a
universe that is completely deterministic.

Which brings me to the whole point of this post: What kind of aircraft
would an omnipotent being fly? Would it matter if he was acting logically
or not? Does the fact that he knows where you're going to fly to next mean
you have no free will?
