    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    F'htang! What you are assuming is God's omniscience as a form of precognition, narrowing our will to strictures, vitiating the will itself. Not so. God is also omnipresent, so there is no need for precognition, because he witnesses you before you do something, as you do something and after...

    Athiesm leads to the destruction of humanity - Now with Charts!!

    :troll: :troll: :troll: :troll::troll::troll::troll: The public strongly advises caution. Reactionaries usually have a bomb somewhere or a schizo cat....or both.

    God and Time

    Well, if there truly was a God, and he created the universe out of a primordial hole, consuming and empty....in fact in all logic "an irreconciable nothing, bound in nothing, and nonexistent".....then logic and reality, as we perceive it, would be subject to the original mover's...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Well, what we are assuming is precognition....not true. God is omnipresent, witnessing all things at all times. He doesn't neccessarily know what you are going to do before you do it, he knows you as you do it, afterwards, and before. :sarcastic That doesn't vitiate free-will, because he is...

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    My God exists, well lets get this straight, I'm not a theist. :angel2: Let me read you an excerpt from Faust (which I mentioned before): And next, before aught else you learn, You must with zeal to metaphysics turn! There see that you profoundly comprehend, What doth the limit of man`s...

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    Well that is assuming that theistic reasoning is not rational, which is irrational, becasue rationality is subjective, whereas the principle is objective. There is no rationality that is not biased, no credible bias that is no supported by {flawed, unflawed, moronically flawed} rationality...

    What's Rationality? ;) Reminds me of Faust...:beach:

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    The stats. dont matter. It was just demonstrating that no matter your religion, if you have a religion, you have a better chance than the atheist. The atheist doesn't show up? Is the particular atheist immortal? :confused:

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    I suggest reading my post (#72). It outlines that if you are not the creator, yet omniscient, there is still ability to have free will. If you are, well, #72.

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    Thor, Zeus, Apollo, all polytheistic deities with so many physical/theoretical contradictions that many of the Greek intelligentista were atheists. Or monotheists. :thud: I liked the underlying metaphor for the vid. I liked how it was clearly represented as a horse race. You place your bet on...

    God and Time

    Well, true, the exact nature of the universe, and even more to the point, what, if anything, lies outside of it, is under much debate and ado. I think the general idea is that space and time are properties of the universe (excepting the multiversal theory) and that the "outside" reference is an...

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    I believe...that that would be sort of defeating the purpose. :rolleyes:

    God and Time

    Well, speaking scientifically, there is no time outside of the universe, since space and time are inextricable. Within the universe, imaginary time, real time, etc. are properties that we take to be essential, like the law of gravity. Outside of the universe, it is timeless, there is no cylical...

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    That...erm...was kind of the point....:slap: He was bored, lonely, and did I mention bored. Not everyone is omnipotent, for My Sakes, so he's going to sit in the primordial darkness, and contemplate the darkness, talk to the darkness, and rule the darkness. Sounds delightful.

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    First off...you ignored most of what I said...the apartheid between science and religion is unbreachable, which is why we don't have Brahamas adorning our classrooms in the secular world..:facepalm:...the distinction between secularism and the ecclesiastical is inherent to the function of...

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    Theist Answer: To be worshipped and adored. My Answer: Your an omnipotent entity situated in the void, time, space, etc. do not exist, the answer is not why...it's why not?

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Natural Xenocide: Verboten! Natural Genocide: Permissable. Natural Homocide: A Go, Houston, it is a go! Rather obdurate reasoning. The topographical schlock doesn't so much as matter as the fact that the natural events are affecting indivuals, perhaps not en masse, but that is cruel collective...
