Still doesn't address my central objection. If God's presence and omniscience are timeless, stretching out to infinity in the past and future, his...
The Blazer home games have included some of the best basketball I've seen in years. The road games have, in general, made me want to hurt things....
In this example, God may be omnipotent, but he lacks both timelessness and omniscience. If he creates humans and sets them loose to do what they...
If you know what they will do BEFORE you create them, their eventual fate is completely on your shoulders.
Your metaphor includes two very important differences: I did not create the ants from scratch, and I am not omniscient. These two differences make it...
But take that conclusion further. If God is both timeless and your creator, he knew what you would do before you were even a speck in your father's...
Nah, I think you are investigating some important consequences of belief in a timeless deity. But that's again where things get dicey for us and free...

Yup. Craig was in debate mode, while Hitchens seemed more interested in having a casual chat. Craig was firing off bulleted PowerPoint-style lists,...
Well, I'm afraid I can't do two of these things tonight... It's bedtime for me. I apologize -- I thought I'd picked the one you were talking about....
Wait -- I'm just now finishing the Hitchens/Craig debate. You're telling me that was NOT the one you meant?? (And I think that new link is broken...)
Keep it real, cabron. Go Blazers!
Dear lord. Don't make us live through that again...
