Free will Argument against Divine Providence
#7
RE: Free will Argument against Divine Providence
Hm, that's a good analogy. I can't say I can 'refute' it, but I still think that it matches compatibilism because in that case the circumstances are altered so as to bring about a particular conclusion. Under compatibilism, if time could be reversed to right before the fight and all the prior occurrences and setup was exactly the same, then the same outcome would occur.

In that situation, you incline people to do certain actions based on some aspect of their nature. If God's interference is akin to that, he becomes morally blameworthy doesn't he? He would then be part of the causal process of evil's creation, and then would be known to have been able to have determined a different outcome at the onset. And that's not something I see Christians or Muslims agreeing with.

Though I do agree there is definitely wiggle-room. I'll have to read more on free-will. Smile
