    It’s more logically consistent than anything else I’ve heard. God created the universe knowing every action that would be taken with that particular setup. He chose that one though, so it must be the one that caused everything he wanted. He could have chosen from literally an infinite number of possible options, and he can always change the starting conditions to create any result, so whatever happens he knew was going to happen.

    Those same people who believe he had this power will say something about free will. However, he isn’t omniscient if he doesn’t know which choice you will freely make, and set things up so you’ll make the choice he wants. It just doesn’t make sense.
