Ya know, theologically, everything is set in stone. I mean, since God knows all things, and has since before the foundations of the world, then can man’s will be so free that he can choose something different than what God Foreknew in eternity? If God foreknew I was going to pick up a fork and I instead picked up a spoon, then God would have gotten it wrong and He would cease to be God. The very characteristic of the true God is infallible knowledge of the future. Jesus said in John 14:29 – “And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.”(ESV). And in Deut 18:22 – “when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.” (ESV). Man’s will is free only because he acts without compulsion. God doesn’t force wills, as much as He dissuades or changes them, as in the case of the Egyptian people: “And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.” Ex 12:36.(ESV). So man’s free will depends how it is defined. |
Boy, idk how mainstream scientists keep up with this breakneck pace of scientific progress in ID. That's probly why they don't publish more PCID or Bio-Craplexity--overloaded email databases and such.
