you raise two great questions, acescence.
1. The Bible teaches (see Romans Ch. 1) that God has revealed his invisible attributes through creation and implanted in the hearts of everyone, knowledge of him. It teaches that everyone in every culture will be accountable for the "light they have received". God is perfectly just - he will not allow people to spend an eternity seperated from him based on not hearing the Good News of Christ. We are accountable for the light we've received. In the case of people here... you've heard the Good News and are without excuse, according to the Bible. What will you do with it? :)
2. God's omniscience (all knowing foreknowledge) does not negate our free-will. It just means that He knows who will choose him and who will not. We have to draw a line of demarkation between fore-knowledge and Predestination. They are not mutually exclusive.
