I was just wondering , God has everything already planned for our lives and such is what i have come to believe . so lets says an atheist was born and died and god had this all planned out . wouldnt that be kinda unfair for them to burn in hell since god knew it was what they were going to do since the day they were born but created them anyways . The antichrist for example whoever he is , god probabley already knows who it will be and everything so why would he create them just to have them suffer in enternal hell?

You have hit into the predestination / free will debate (also known as the Calvinism/Arminienism debate). This has been a tough issue for centuries.
God is bigger and beyond all that we can understand. He is not bound by the laws of physics or logic. This debate is trying to limit HIM to our logic.

You're also binding God in time. God created time; he exists outside of time. For him there is no past or future. All times are present. All people have already been created and either chosen him or not.
