The words that christians use to describe their creator called a god is "omnipotent" which menas all-powerful and the word "omniscient" which menas all-knowing. They believe that this god they believe exist is omnipotent and omniscient. It is all powerful, it can do anything it wants, it knows all, etc. It have unlimited abilities. It knows what you are going to do in the past, present, and future. In other words it can do anything. Allright then. That's fine.
However, religion teaches us that even though this god an do anything, it decides to give us free will. Meaning that it cares about us so much and it doesn't want to treat us like robots (as some christians claim of course) that it decided that we should make our own decisions in life.
That's all fine and dandy, but there is just one problem with this story. If this god is omnipotent and omniscent, then I fail to see how free will can exist. Here is what I mean:
If this God is omniscient, then it knows every action I perform, every decision I make throughout my life, before I have done them. If this god, for instance, know what I am going to do on February 01, 2020, then how can I do anything else? This God had prior knowledge of your actions at the time it created the universe billions of years ago. It set the universe in motion, knowing all that would happen throughout time. Can you do anything that this god would not know about. For instance, say that you see three different flavored pies on a table, cherry, blueberry, and apple. Do you think that this god know what pie you'll take a bite out of? If this god do know, how do you think you'll be able to choose another different pie then? Therefore there is no free will involved. If this god really don't know what kind of pie you'll take a bite out of, or if you are going to eat any one of the pies at all, then obviously it is not omniscient and omnipotent.
Free will and Omniscient/Omnipotence cannot go together. If this god can do anything it wants, it has unlimited abilities and created the world, human life, and the actions of the humans the way it wanted to, then there is no free will involved at all. Because this god have set up the universe to where it knows all the actions of everything in it. If it really cannot know what type of action a person is going to commit, or if it cannot control the actions of one person, then it is obviously not all powerful and/or all knowing.
Really guys. It doesn't take a brainiac or ten Albert Einsteins to figure out that there is something wrong with this story here.
