Rant, rant, rant, ... religion sucks .... rant, jump, rant some more, ... I hate religions and all its people. Ok now I am done with that, let me settle down think about it.
The only flaw is the understanding of how god "lives" or does things.
If you know where every atom is right now you have a good chance of knowing where they will be in 5 minutes from now. But how far can you go? Based on what we do know about quantum mechanics? the further we go into the future the more uncertain we become. So if the wave equations for electrons are ok the probability of knowing decreases.
I don't believe in a breaded guy in the sky, but if he created the universe with "free will" then he may have used probability to do it. In effect, he made a random number generator. He may know all the outcomes. But the machine can pick one. To a limited degree.
I just think religion got god traits wrong. Until we can prove there is "nothing" then that's the best stance we can legitimately have
