Yes, it changed something. The very second the creator was made omniscient he knew in which state the universe would end up, as he saw the flow of time and how things would change within.

My three possible scenarios that i mentioned earlier still stands.

God didn't want Eve to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, because God thought knowledge needed to be kept from mankind to preserve their innocence. The devil didn't agree, he believed knowledge should be available to all and so he convinces Eve to eat the fruit. Now, I think we can all agree that the knowledge gathered by mankind has since become quite valuable; otherwise we'd have no technology or medicine.

So maybe God keeps the devil around because in the beginning the devil stopped what could have been a monumental mistake, and now God owes him a favour.

Oh, well... it doesn't stop there:

Turns out that the Devil was the true hero all along!

That was classic.

Don't you think theologians have pondered this very question, this very paradox? Surprise, they have. It's called arminianism and calvinism.

Look it up :)

Yes, I do. However, this thread is dedicated to those who haven't.

At OP-

There are so many things wrong with religion, you can't pin point it to one thing. Once you get past the immoral parts there is a whole scientific aspect to it. That's when religion really falls flat on it's face. Yeah you argue how it's genocidal, petty and pointless but world created in a few days? Flat planet? People lived for hundreds of years? Ok....

I know it's good to debate but believe me you will never convince someone who believes in God that he/she doesn't exist and it's all a load of BS for such and such reason. That can only come from themselves through their own life experiences and research. Only a theist can start questioning their own faith and those with an open mind and a thirst for knowledge will come round eventually.

Ok fair enough, but going by your original post it seemed you were ignorant of the two stances. It's not a simple subject. Also, you said the Abrahamic religions. I would argue calvinism and arminianism is more relevant to Christian doctrine due to the atonement. 

You basically said Abrahamic religions make no sense due to the paradox of predetermination vs self determination. Again, it's not a simple subject palmed off by such a simple conclusion as this thread title. But that's just my opinion. :) I think Forest Gump got it right. Life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you are going to get OR life is what you make of it. Forest Gump concluded it was probably a bit of both :).

Wow you get offended easily. Anyway i would give my 2 cents but you will just reply the same way you did to everybody else.

I agree, it is interesting to see what people think on the subject. I like your threads.
