As per usual, I have to agree with the vast bulk of what Beo is writing. Let me just offer two things though:

The quality of God you're considering is not best termed "omnipotence". That concerns ability. In some of what you write above what you're more concerned with is "eternality" and in the choice issue Chris is asking about, the term is "omni-benevalence". Just helps to keep these things separate.

Second observation I'd offer is that in discussions of eternality and causal relations, we certainly have reasons to question causation. Though we routinely observe it, we have also observed "retrocausality" or cause moving backward in time, where the effect precedes the cause. If you search "retrocausality" you'll certainly find some wild physics on this stuff--very enlightening to the issues you raise.

Ahahahahah, that was the funniest thing you wrote since long time (apart from your BLP nonsense).
You should quit the philosophical road and try the comic route. You have a much brighter future there.


Edited to add:
When you finish to find all these childish ways to avoid replying to my direct questions against your arguments you might want to try to bring some facts or some real analytical reasoning in support of your statements. Even if at this point it looks to me more and more like you have none.
Prove me wrong please.

Giorgio, I'm not avoiding your questions. I'm avoiding you.

I understand this is not your native tongue so I'm explaining in small words.

Here in the New World, when people ignore you, they're generally hoping you'll go away.

Ignore me and reply to my questions than, or you will find yet another excuse to avoid it?
Let's face the truth, you have no reply to give because you have nothing to say.

In the world (be it the old or the new one), when someone makes amazing claims and than refuses to reply to critics with valid arguments is considered a crackpot.

The only excuse I can give to you is if one day we will discover that you are Randell Mills or one of his relatives..... :roll:
