The omniscience of God has been poorly defined by the Christian community.

"To claim that God is all knowing is to claim that A. He knowingly created Adam and Eve to fall to the wiles of the serpent and be kicked out of his perfect garden of Eden (Genesis 3)"He did not create adam and eve "to fall. " He did create them knowing they would fall. A Christian has no problem with this statement. "B. He knows whether we are going to heaven or hell, which leads to the argument of predestination meaning it doesn't matter how good or bad we are it will not change the destination (Romans 8). "Let's just assume what my opponent said was true. This would still have no bearing on the resolution because all it would do is call into question Gods character if anything. This does not prove he is not all knowing. Furthermore, some believe, mainly arminians, believe that the predestination is based on the decisions we make and that in turn determines who is predestined. This would be like what I brought up last round with Gods foreknowledge being based on actions he knows we will take. "C. That God knew of the pain Joseph, Job, and any individual who has suffered and done nothing to change it making him a sociopath (Genesis 37, & the book of Job). "This also does nothing to show that God is not omniscient. This goes back to the problem of evil that I addressed in my first round post. My opponent would have to show that God could not have morally justifiable reasons for allowing evil. However, in order to do that she would have be all knowing. "All of these arguments point away from the loving, involved, caring God to a sociopathic God who delights in the suffering of the beings he created. "That simply calls into question God's character. It does not show he is not all knowing. "Argument B. also gives justification for all sorts of immoral behavior because it in theory will not effect the after-life. If predestination is true just think of all the people who might be in heaven, Hitler, Pol Pot, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, etc. "Again, my opponent would have to prove the Calvinistic view on predestination is more likely than the Arminian view. A christian has no problem accepting the fact that there are murderers or people like that in heaven. Now I will move to my opponents second round arguments. "My opponent compared God to a infallible barometer simply reading the pressure, but to say that God has all knowledge he would need to do more than just read the pressure in the moment he would have to have knowledge of even my life from the very beginning of time. "Sure, I agree completely with that. However, it still does not show God is not omniscient. "As to my opponents argument that just because God knows evil will happen does not mean he is the cause of the evil is true, BUT that being said, if I had knowledge of a bomb being planted in a crowded building I would have a moral obligation to try and stop it. If God has knowledge of evil and does nothing to stop it that reiterates my point that he is by definition then a sociopath taking pleasure in the pain of the beings he has created. "Again you would have to show God does not have morally justifiable reasons for allowing evil. He gave humans free will to do wrong things. Free will may be valuable enough for God to allow evil. My opponent must show it is not. Conclusion:My opponent only addressed one of the verses I posted so I am forced to believe she believes the others to be true. She also did not show that because God has knowledge of evil before it happens that he cannot be omniscient. My opponent spent much of her time calling into question Gods character, but did nothing to show that God is not omniscient or that he cannot be. Thank you
