That's just playing with semantics again... because the whole point is that He doesn't know the future though. Like you said He ONLY knows the future when it's present to Him... which means He only knows the future when it isn't the future. It's like having the 'amazing' ability to 'know' the lottery numbers when you see the results on TV...... it's literally identical to not knowing the future.

That was my understanding anyway, so as per the norm, I believe the atheist victory dance is pre-mature.
I already explained that same thing to them on the thread where Neo's post came from, but it doesn't matter. Sometimes people would rather continue to ridicule a point that wasn't even the one being made, just for the sake of doing it.
That's not very fair.
I, for example, am not trying to continue to ridicule a point that is not being made. I am just of the opinion that Neo isn't able to make the point he's trying to make because it's not as logically coherent as he thinks it is... and what he's actually saying (rather than what he's trying to say) is indeed what I have been saying he is saying.
