Compartibility Of Free Will With God's Foreknowledge

Posted by Roaring Lovely on June 9, 2016 at 8:30am
Christians often say that to God, the future is as certain as the past. Good! Nothing at all is logically problematic with such. However, what puts ants in the pants is the claim that nevertheless, everyone still has a freedom to choose what he will do in future! Indead christians must hold both of these views for otherwise their religion will collapse in pico seconds! How after all will they claim that you will declared guilty in the last days?To compart this fatal paradox, the modern philosopher has brewed an amusing ad oc. He tosses around the concepts of necessities and contingencies to the utter confusion of people! He also rely on false dilemas and straw men fallacies.NECESITYWe can say for instance that necesarily, a triangle has 3 sides. At once, one should understand that the concepts of necesity applies solely to concepts and not things or events out there. 3 sides is a necesary conditions that make a geometric figure to be called a triangle by a sentient being. It is NOT a necesary condition for a thing in reality to BE a triangle. There is no such a thing as a triangle. A triangle is a CONCEPT.In a similar way, the statement that if God already knows where you will go tommorrow then you will necesary go there does not have any meaning. Rather we say the statement that 'God knows where you will go tommorrow' necesarily makes the statement that 'you have no free will' true. In other words, the battleground is entirely in SENTENSES and not in EVENTS!! Whatever happens there happens and it doesn't need the concept of nececity. We invented necessities solely to ensure that our languages does not contain internal contradictions.So it is actually straight foward. If it is true to say that God knew where you will go tommorrow even before the world begun, then where you will go tommorow was already determined at the beginning. If you you were not there right at the beginning, then it cannot be said that you made the choice. These are just tautologies. If the following two statements does not mean the same thing, then we are simply not speaking the same language, no need for argument!Statement 1: God knew where you will go tommorrow before the world begunStatement 2: Where you will go tommorrow was determined before the world begunThese are just ALMOST a roundabout ways of saying the same thing. Such needs as to be able to sabstitute 'God' with another word such as 'devil' to generate other meanings are the only reasons we need these two statements in our languages.FREEWILL IN A BLOCK UNIVERSEA block universe is a model wherein all the events of past, present and future happens all at once albeit seperated by yet another atemporal dimension! In such a model, 'future' can just be thought of as plans in the mind of 'God'. However, when we conceive of a block universe, at once, the possibility of 'time travel' becomes conceivable. But if we can time travel to 'future', the future ceases to be predetermined and as such, there is realy nothing incompartible with freewill in a block universe.There is still a need to account for the fact that we realy don't determine every event in our world freewillingly. While you can determine where the billiard ball will go, you donnot determine where moon will go. So if 'future' is realy in the mind of 'God', we can reconcile this with our freewill by simply understanding ourselves as to be part of this 'God'.FREEWILL IN A NEWTONIAN UNIVERSEIt is falsely taught that Newtonian physics is deterministic. Infact, 'Newtonian' is used to incongruosly lable every classical physics, most of which were realy not the works of Newton. We all know that Newton was a 'magician'. So we don't espect him to have concocted a physics that gives no room for magics, i.e physics that undermine his own beleives. So if Newton's look looks very 'mechanical' it is only reasonable to assume that his work was reinterprated or rewritten by other people.In the original Principia Mathematica, there are explanations that Netwon offered that are often omited in presenting Newton's physics to students. For instance, consider how he explains action and reaction forces. He considers a rope tieing an horse to a stone. If the horce draws the stone, the rope tries to return to its own natural tension, drawing the horse to the stone.In quantum mechanics, we now know that forces are mediated by such invisible 'ropes' termed bosons. So contrary to how you may think, we don't explain collition as to be due to 'contact'. After all objects are almost empty and they could as well penetrate each other instead of knocking each other. With this picture, we can reintroduce freewill in that there is a choice between collition and interpenetration.

"Please no- not Jagger and children.
When I used to work in Manhattan I heard a weird story Jagger that I won't repeat here-he lived in Manhattan in the 80s and 90s -it wasn't about children"
