Quote:God is omniscient, duh. Before the crime after the crime is the same to Him. Therefore if he says this will happen if we do not take out these people, guess who gets taken out before sunset on the sabbath?
This gives you a whole new problem. If god kills the baby before it grows up to commit the crime it was killed for, surely this interferes with free will? Plenty of murderers/rapists etc are around, so god didn't kill them off as babies. Why has god stopped killing off potential murderers?
Also, if god kills them before the crime was committed, do the babies get punished for the crime they did not commit?
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
