The only way for the theist to save their ass, is to believe that god doesn't know the future and essentially demote him.

It's impossible for something to be infinite, except God is infinite. They'll make up some excuse "God's immaterial" or "God is outside of time". Alright fine, now that we've established that things can be immaterial or outside of time, why can't the multiverse have that property. Mostly they seem to try to redirect the conversation away from this type of questioning, because they don't have a good answer. It's special pleading, pure and simple.Hausdorffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690401058367596952noreply@blogger.com
