If you believe in an all-knowing God, then free will is impossible. You know, a thousand years of deep thinking philosophers would disagree with you. But and a thousand years of or at least like the last 50 years of philosophers would disagree with you.
These analytic philosophers, people like Graham Oppy make arguments about the the incompatibility of of omniscience uh and free will that if God created this world, if he chose this world instead of that world, then he makes it causally inevitable every single action that you were going to make. If he made a world where we were just electrons in love, then none of this would have happened. But by making us in this world, knowing exactly what's going to happen in the future, it makes all of those events inevitable, which means that they're all causally determined, which means that we have no free will if you believe in an all good God or an all-knowing God that made everything.
Well, have it your way. Okay, cool. So then the free will theodysy fails. Well, it fails for you. That doesn't mean you've disproved it. I mean, you argument. Yes. You tried to make a case for a causally deterministic universe. I don't think there's any evidence for that at all.
Do you think that God could have created a different universe than the one that he created? I have no idea. Okay. So then there's going to be a double bind, right? So either he couldn't have done it in which case he lacks a power or he could have done it in which case we don't have free will because he chose this world instead of that world making the the events of this world instead of that world inevitable with his infallible knowledge.
I don't understand where you're headed. which just means that the free will defense fails like all this like and under your view if you want to have it fail no problem I don't know why it's relevant to the issue do you acknowledge that under your view free will doesn't exist no oh then do you want to respond to the argument you'll have to phrase it more clearly so that someone like me can understand it yeah I got you so so God already knows in advance everything that's going to happen which means that by making this world instead of that world everything is inevitable which means that God's act of causing this world instead of that world doesn't mean determine It's causally inevitable if God chooses this world instead of that world.
Causally inevitable means determined. No, it doesn't. Absolutely yes it does. Well, have it your way.
