It's been awhile since this is active, but I have learned a few things about this. While God is all-knowing, He is not directing everything. It may be that some were predestined to be a key part of God's plan, while everyone else who weren't predestined are still able to be go to heaven. As for the Ephesians reference to predestination, the method of our being saved was predestined. In a way, everyone is predestined to be saved (God wants all to come to repentance) but we can reject our destiny. We have free will, and we are predestined to go to heaven. It is up to us to accept or reject our destiny. We accept our destiny through Christ. Without Him, we live in a way that rejects our destiny.
