That doesn't address the question, though. Given god's knowledge of not only all the outcomes, but all the possible outcomes in a person's life, why make them actually go through those outcomes? Clearly god doesn't need to test you as he knows all decisions you can or could make, regardless of whether you actually are put in the situation or not, and if the ultimate point of life is to make the choice between god or not god, why the uneccessary step of actually going through it? Why not skip the middleman?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
