Literal interpretation of this is the PLAIN MEANING of the text,

I do not think its a definition of literalism. "No dogs in heaven" has a plain meaning, but not a literal one. "You are a rock" has also a plain meaning, but not a literal one.

On the other hand.. does anything in the Bible have a "plain" meaning? All is quite deep and has many layers. Both literal and metaphorical verses.

Or you could create artificial intelligence, i.e. give it ability to learn and develop. But its not free will either.

good point; not even "what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them"

I think the universe works on probability. Probability allows certainity of events and also a free will.

Its like in a casino. No matter how many times you win, at the end, the casino always wins.
