Foreknowledge Eliminates Free Will
|
If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this.
Someone may assert, "Foreknowledge eliminates free will." Foreknowledge does not remove free will. For example, say that there was a very good project manager, and that project manager had an uncanny ability to read people. Let's say that this project manager hired you to do a certain job because he knew that you were very intelligent and could do it exactly as he wanted it done. He also knew that you had faults, a rebellious streak, but he knew that he could turn you from those faults and that you would end up and serve him in the way he wanted and get the job done. Let's say that he hired another person, a project manager wannabe who he would use to test you and that he understood this person would put exactly the right kind of pressure on you to take away your rebellious streak. In fact, this person would force you to make repeated decisions between doing the will of the project manager and the will of the project manager wannabe. Through this process, you would learn the wisdom of the project manager and learn to be like him in your own thinking. Would this take away your free will? No. Would this take away the free will of the project manager wannabe? No.
