according to religious doctrine, god is omniscient.
therefore he knows all.
therefore there is one definitive reality .
therefore we are all predestined according to religious doctrine.
but many say we also have free will.
i see a way this may be legitimate, but i dont know, it seems real shifty.
think of a person as a marble and their life's course as a tube which they travel down.
they want to follow the tube b/c of the force of gravity, so this is sort of like free will.
but i am very doubtful of this truly being free will as the tube, unless it is totally vertical, also influences their course, and even if the marble wants to break through the tube, it cannot.
i think this is an accurate metaphor for life's course as Christian doctrine sees it, but that really doesnt seem like free will to me.
what do you think??
