    Predestination or Free Will

    God knows what we will do because we have already done it... in the future. God exists in all time, so He is in the future where He has seen what our free will has led us to do.

    struggling with masturbation

    the best way to stop masturbating is to constantly remind yoruself to never do it. for instance, write yourself notes and put them in places where you'll definately see them. for the sake of privacy, write notes that no one else will understand, but where you know exactly what they mean. the...

    entropy vs. life from non-life

    i can't figure out what definition you are using. an all-powerful being is capable of not doing things, so it is possible for things to go against God's plan.

    If God is all knowing...

    ALRIGHT! i've been studying this a whole lot lately and talking with people and trying to figure it all out. i've decided that i was absolutely wrong. God actually does know everything. it is God's knowledge of everything that is a part of what makes him so good to trust. when God was...

    Taking a philosophy class - confused about evolution

    project 2501, just because you say someone is worng doesn't mean they are. you offer no disproving evidence or anything supporting your argument. just saying the word "no" is not a valid point. evidence against people who believe that life came from non-life and then evolved into all the...

    If God is all knowing...

    i discussed this with a group of people who go to church. we all decided it's a very biblical thing. if God says it Himself, then i don't care who laughs at it, cuz it's still the truth. but yeah, a lot of people would be very hesitant to accept it. but i think it's only because they...

    entropy vs. life from non-life

    you are correct in what you said in your post except for when you said this: the universe is a system. randomness is the same as disorder in this sense. the system is moving from a state of order to disorder because of entropy. if no life existed in the system, then life could not ever...

    entropy vs. life from non-life

    i'm not familiar enough with snow to know exactly what you are trying to say with the snowflakes. i thought that snowflakes were made when water freezes as it falls, but then somehow hits an upcurrent and goes back up and changes from hard ice into softer stuff. i may be wrong about that...

    entropy vs. life from non-life

    i did a google search, and these bits from various places seem to explain it as simply as i've seen: Energy exists in many forms, such as heat, light, chemical energy, and electrical energy. Energy is the ability to bring about change or to do work. Thermodynamics is the study of energy. 1st...

    entropy vs. life from non-life

    the 2nd law of thermodynamics says that everything is the universe is constantly moving from a state of order to a state of disorder and that it never moves in the opposite direction. this is an absolute law of physics proven to be fact and can be witnessed in the world around us today. how...

    If God is all knowing...

    it is very biblical. God is often saying that He doesn't know things. He said that He didn't know what was happening in sodom and gomorrah, so He was gonna go down there and look. He says He's suprised at what people do when they ture from Him in the old testament. He says He's suprised at...

    Taking a philosophy class - confused about evolution

    evolution is simply the changing of a species over time. evolution does exist, because not all creatures alive today are the same as their ancestors hundreds of years ago. evolution can occur because of interspecial breeding, birth defects, or other things. the genes of species change...

    If God is all knowing...

    i may have not used the most specific wording, but that's my point: God doesn't know everything. this is not because He is unable to know some things, but just because He decides to not know them. to say that God is incapable of not knowing something is to limit His power. when God forgives...
