question is not from me, its from my kid. Both of them started sunday school after church and somehow my youngest started saying God made everything. Its not a question of whether you believe that or not, i told my kid he didn't make everything. So he started arguing with me that he did. So, like the genious that i am, i said, fine, then who made you(he started singing AC/DC then,lol), he said, God, i said, no, me and mom did. Then the big question came out, HOW? i just started at him for about 30 seconds and said, you'll find out when you older, go to bed,lol. this just happend about 10 min ago, i thought it was just too funny.

If nothing can or cannot happen with out god allowing it, we have no free will and making decisions would be pointless.

QUOTE(Midnight Rambler @ 10/16/07 9:20am)  If nothing can or cannot happen with out god allowing it, we have no free will and making decisions would be pointless. I agree with the basic premise here, which is why I am not a Calvinist! Calvinism holds to a predetermined election of the saints, which I don't buy. It is actually funny that at the seminary I attend the philosophy students are all Arminians who adhere to libertarian freedom, while most of the theology students hold to Calvinism and compatiblist views of will. Anyway, this is actually a reason I believe in God. Metaphysical naturalism doesn't allow for free will because our bodies, in this view, are highly complicated machines. Our "will" is simply chemical reactions that we have no control over. In fact, it also seems reasonable to me that if we are just complicated machines and our bodies are only developed for survival, then there isn't much good reason to believe that what anyone has to say about anything. We would be unable to verify truths because we can't know if our bodies are actually verifying truth, or what is helpful for survival.
