    The definition of omniscience is to know
    everything
    .
    Except, of course, where Adam was hiding or what the hell is going on in Sodom and Gomorrah. lol. Seriously, though, if paradoxes do not apply to an omniscient being, then such a being would certainly know how to predestine our fates without precluding our free will. (Did you not read the full quote I linked above?)
    "intrinsic impossibilities are not things"

      Just making everybody good but with free will isn't nonsense. He must have wanted things a lot more bestial with a lot of duds being culled instead.

          Whatever characteristics are required to get through the pearly gates.

            'Good' isn't a characteristic? As far as I understand, the "requirement" (your word, not mine) is to not be 'bad'. Sounds pretty simple to me.

              It is whatever is required to get through the pearly gates.

                What do "good" and "bad" mean? What distinguishes one from the other?
                If I could stop a rapist from raping a child I would. That's the difference between me and god.

                  Isn't that more or less what I'm asking Rabbit?

                    You can call it anything you like, Bible word or no. It's whatever traits qualify them for Heaven. God makes some with those traits; he could make 'em all with 'em.

                      Are you suggesting that there are 'bad' infants, then?

                        Nope, I'm suggesting that god could make people with the traits that get them into Heaven, instead of some with and some to be discarded.

                          If there are no 'bad' infants, then it would seem that he did just that.
