Of free will and omniscience:
To fully comprehend my argument, one must first agree that there exists some plane in this dimension (universe for all intents and purposes) thatcontains all information regarding the actions of all inhabitants of said dimension--this is called the causal plane. Also you must agree that there are an infinite number of universes.
Both of these theories have implications in quantum physics, so im not just pulling things ut of my ass.
Statement: If one cannot experience some occurance, has no reference on which to base that experience, and has no proof that the occurance happened (or happens), then for all intents and purposes one cannt know for certain that the occurance has happened.
Realize in your mind what you might do tomorrow. You may think of many things, work, play, study...
But you do not know which of those futures are on your causal plane. If an infinite number of universe exist, then an infinite number of causal planes exist. Some might contain your realization of your visualized future while others may not.
You have no proof that any will occurn in your causal plane, neither do you have a reference to base that proof. Therefore you do not know if that information (realization) holds true for your causal plane for all realized data.
So in this case you make up your mind about what your causal data will do for the t scalar (or coordinate rather) because that t scalar has not had a direction as of the time the realization was constructed, and the actual occurance happened. Its like writing a book.
However God knows the causal data for all universes, including your own. So from his perspective all data has been plotted. But from your perspective God is irrelavant because you cannot know for fact that He exists, therefore it is as if he doesnt exist (for all intents and purposes). So then his knowledge of your causal data cannot in any way affect you or your descisions (remember He irrelavant?).
So if you are unaffected by God, and your causal t scalar has yet to be plotted, you have free will to plot where the t goes. However God knows where you will put it.
So...Christians, is this how yu would reconcile free will and God's omniscience without using a trump?
