Omnipotence Doesn't Imply Seeing The Future.

I have not read the rest of the thread.

The traditional problem in the phil of religion is that a contradiction is supposed to arise if god is thought to possess the following attributes:

1. Omnipotence
2. Omniscience
3. Omnibenevolence

If god is omnipotent, then he has the power/ability to prevent evil. If god is omniscient, then he knows how to prevent evil. If god is omnibenevolent, then he is all-loving and all-good, and therefore would not allow any evil.

The contradiction comes with the observation that there is, in fact, evil in the world (both man-made and natural).

This contradiction is solved easily by concluding that the evil in the world must ultimately contribute to some higher good that we are unaware of.
