A good reason not to believe in God

RE: A good reason not to believe in God
(February 17, 2011 at 11:02 pm)theVOID Wrote: Essentially, an omniscient deity is a being who knows everything that will ever happen in any given state of affairs throughout any sequence ...

Given this definition of omniscience, your argument ignores at least one omniscient deity—the God of Christianity, for whom the concept of "will happen" is inapplicable because that involves being temporally bounded. It is not as though God knows in sum "the position and momentum of every particle in the universe at every moment of time throughout existence" at the initial t0. God has no temporal locality, he is not temporally bounded. "In God there is no was or will be, but a continuous and unbroken is. In him, history and prophecy are one and the same" (Aiden Tozer). "With God there is no past, and can be no future ... What we call past, present, and future, he wraps up in one eternal now" (Charles Spurgeon).
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when
called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
(Oscar Wilde)
