God knowing what you will do does not remove your responsibility of the decision you made.

This isn't about responsibility, it's about preventing suffering. If you could prevent a genocidal leader from being born, which you knew would save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, why wouldn't you? Because it's that person's "responsibility" that all of those innocent people died after all?

So is God powerless to stop people from committing evil?

That is not an answer, it's a man avoiding the question entirely.
