Default Re: God and Free Will

[ QUOTE ]
Non theists have no problem, as the initial assumption of an omni3 God is invalid, any problems with the consequences of this assumption are a non-issue.

The Omni3 assumptions are confusing and lead to logical problems depending on how they are defined.

It is much clearer to avoid words like omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and instead just say what the being can are can’t do. Rather than letting confusing ambiguous potentially logically inconstant words that you don’t really understand do the work for you.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's more difficult than that. Does omnipotent mean able to do whatever he wants, can he chose not to know things?

Does knowing everything mean knowing what you will do or just what you've done.

Can god make the world non-determinstic if he wants to?
