| famousringo said: If god is the "prime mover," the being that created the universe, and god also knows every consequence of that primeval act of creation, then we have no free will. Our fates were sealed with that single act of a being that knew exactly what would follow. I wonder why such an all-knowing creator would create so many people who doubt its existence. Maybe god has problems with insecurity. |
That's the thing. If we have free-will, then that intricacy of consequences is impossible. It's either-or, and that's why the almost ubiquitous assumption of it is false. It's either we have free-will or we don't. If we have free will, then there is no such intricacy of consequences, it's an either-or.
