Exactly what am talking about.. If he knows exactly what you will do (and you cannot do the contrary) is that really freewill?
Because you know exactly what I will do tomorrow, does that mean I lost my will of thought and action? It only means that you have extraordinary talent in dissipating my moves though the probability is very minute among the pools of probabilities.

That i know exactly what you do tomorrow doesnt mean you cannot do otherwise..
Since your are free to do all you want you can do contrary to what i know and it turns out my fore-knowledge was wrong. (mind you i didnt claim to have created you, if i created you and at the same time know exactly what you will do means i also created those actions in the process of creating you)

I wish you can read my post again and you'll know all but one hasn't been answered. As for the intelligent question in the bracket, you'll definitely have been right but for the fact that we were given freewill, removing the guilt from our Creator, who though knew the result of our creation, never was responsible for our actions. sad

none of them have been answered.. not even one, you just go on in contradicting circles..smiley

Lol... Now check this out let me paint a clear picture.

[size=20] Before he created you, he already know exactly everything you will do. then knowing this he created you and all your actions already been known before you were even created that can never be wrong must go according to that fore-knowledge. You must do do exactly what he already fore-knew, going contrary to this will mean he was wrong but he cant be wrong... tell me where the freewill is here?[/size]

[size=20]He knew Adam and eve will eat the fruit even before he created them, how come he was surprised and angry they did?

If adam and eve didnt eat the fruit wouldnt it mean that his foreknowledge of them eating the fruit was wrong which means he was wrong but remember he cannot be wrong therefore they must eat the fruit. smiley

OK. It is like a man who knows Randy Orton is 42 years old, his friend then challenges him to betting his age, can he ever be wrong? Also, you have ten cubes numbered from 0 to 9, you misplaced the sixth one, can you ever be wrong if you find a cube and call it 6? All things being equal. It doesn't mean you made it so, it only means you have a perfect knowledge of it. sad

This is not foreknowledge.. Randy orton was already 42 before you find out he was 42 and this cannot be likened to actions.. You could have said the man knew how exactly how many punches Randy would throw in a certain future match.

I know they are not foreknowledge, I never meant them to be, but before you can have foreknowledge, you have to have perfect knowledge, that is what the illustration is all about. Now that the persons had perfect knowledge of things, their ability to predict the outcome was a 100%; a walk over.

they didnt predict, they merely stated the obvious. ..

Firstly i do not claim possess any knowledge of how the world started because i opened my eyes and saw the world.. Most atheist say "We dont know".

Now can you tell me what you mean by atheist say the world started from nothing? Throw more light to that statement.. I actually love this turn you have taken our discussion smiley

That's cumbersome, but let me quote you a post " Atheists argue that life popped out of nothing, therefore God is not needed in the
equation. They are quick at using M and B word. They say Earth is billions of years old
and man is millions of years old and evolved from tiny organisms. They have refused to
give us detailed reasons why it took so long and every process man took, if possible
catalyze the whole process, subsequently giving us a human being .
Let me use the experiment that Galileo Galilei used to stun the entire world of science;
the experiment that every object falls at same rate when air resistance is absent. To do
this, we have to pump out the air to give us a vacuum (though logic tells us the vacuum
is something, the absence of air molecules gives us a perfect example of nothing since
we are only concerned about the air molecules and its emptiness.)
Through this experiment, we see that for nothing(absence of air molecules) to exist,
something must have triggered it. What if we want to get our air molecules back(a very
important component of life itself)? Should we wait for a few days, months, years or
centuries for air molecules to pop out of nothing? A sane mind will realise that
something can't come out of nothing but nothing can come out of something. This proof
singlehandedly shows that the genesis of the 'faith' of atheists is shaky.
Since its now being proofed that life started from something and not nothing (even
nothing must come from something,) we can then try to highlight the properties and
characteristics this something must possess:
1) Must be called God because everything was created by him because without him was
anything made that was made.
2) He must be infinite because he is infinity, he came from infinity, therefore he has no
source, neither can he have an end because he is infinite.
3) He must be all powerful and infinitely intelligent. The works of his hands are sufficient
proof.
4) He must possess properties beyond normal, properties beyond our wisdom e.g an
invisible Spirit. People will wish to argue this one but Hebrews 11:3 says: Through faith,
we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that "things which are
seen are not made of things which do appear". This applies to everything in the universe,
including you and this knowledge is applied in the making of televisions and phones."

Good those atheists aired their opinion, its theirs and none of my business. it has nothing to do with others who disbelief in Gods, so do not generalize their views and impose it on all atheists. Refer to that opinion as their own viewsmiley. . atheists do not have one common doctrine, being an atheist doesnt mean believing big bang or evolution it only entails [size=20] Disbelief in God(s) [/size] smiley . . . so that right there is their opinion most atheist just say "we dont know" smiley

And you as a creationist actually is the one that have something in common with those atheist (something came out of nothing.) And i think you know how smiley

Then it's not kinda right to be an atheist without having the fundamental and basic knowledge of your Faith (substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen). If then being a man who believes not in things without proof, I think then that it is right not to contradict your stance by remaining a theist till you have enough proof to back an earth from nothing (without GOD).

Johny , I must say I admire ur intelligence so much ... Have been followin ur discussion from page 0 with that religious guy ! But ur points are very valid .

If God know that Adam and Eve would sin, then their freewil is tampered with . Exactly, and that will mean they are not different from programmed robots .

But if on the other hand , God have the power to know .. But use self - control (one of his vital attributes) from knowing such, then the freewill is not tampered with. (comp. Gen)

I am an atheist because i lack belief in any God.smiley and thats the only thing atheism means nothing more..smiley

Lol actually on the contrary, I maintain i do not know when i lack the knowledge but you believe that the world came to be out of nothing only that it comes in a more finer wear..

First your argument on first cause states that something can't come out of nothing. Very good.

But then again you believe your god just started existing on its own without needing to be created, that is failing in your own argument.

Let me say i agree with you that something can't come out of nothing, it means your god being existent on his own contradicts your argument. It must have a cause, another god i suppose and that other god must also have another god resulting in a chain of infinite regress. So you see you failed in your own argument by believing your god existed from nothing.

Secondly, As a creationist you believe the universe was created with words (is not material so its nothing) from this your god that still yet popped out of nothing.
He said the word and the universe magically popped out from nothing thereby you still failed in your own argument...smiley

So now do you see the difference between you and i? You think the universe popped out from nothing (a word) said by a god that popped out of nothing (self existent) but i on the other hand say [size=20] I do not know how the universe started[/size]
