OUR FATHER, HELL AND HEAVEN : M. M. NINAN
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Various means of reconciling God's omniscience (possession of all possible knowledge) with human
free will have been proposed:
Counters reconceptualizing free will
• God can know in advance what I will do, because free will is to be understood only as freedom
from coercion, and anything further is an illusion. This is the move made by compatibilistic
philosophies.
• The sovereignty (autonomy) of God, existing within a free agent, provides strong inner
compulsions toward a course of action (calling), and the power of choice (election). The actions
of a human are thus determined by a human acting on relatively strong or weak urges (both
from God and the environment around them) and their own relative power to choose.
Counters reconceptualizing omniscience
• Molinism argues that God not only knows the singular outcomes of all our future free choices,
but also knows what singular free choices would have eventuated in any possible circumstance.
Truths of the latter sort are called "counterfactuals of freedom," and God's knowledge thereof is
referred to as his "middle knowledge." This view holds an Ockhamist conception of
foreknowlege, in which there are singular truths about what inevitably happens in the future
despite the plurality of future contingents which may and may not come to pass. Molinsts say
that such foreknowlege can't determine such outcomes, because that's not the kind of thing
foreknowledge can do.
• Compatablistic Calvinism re-defines a free act as one that is done in accordance with one's
desires. While this view avoids incoherence, it is arguable that this is the kind of freedom
Theists are concerned to reconcile with divine foreknowledge.
• Open Theism holds that future free decisions are known under the category of possibility,
which is their true nature. The problem of freedom and foreknowledge therefore, is due to the
traditional theologies of libertarian freedom positing gratuitous knowledge on God's part, which
overextends God's settled knowledge to the realm of unsettled possibilities.
Physics Solution: The Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg (1927).
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that no two conjugate properties of a particle (like position and
momentum, Energy and time etc.) can be measured with accuracy greater than value of Planck’s
constant. This Principle has been shown to be a built in reality of the Quantum Model. If we try to pin
point the position, the momentum of the particle will be heavily uncertain. This is because they are
correlated. The reason for this uncertainty is that the state of the particle is so changed during the
process of the measurement, that we will have changed its conjugate element in that process. The
implication of this statement is that in the phase space of displacement and momentum minimum size
of the pixel is of the order of h. Thus anything within that range cannot be defined properly. The same
goes to energy and time.
Evidently the Omniscience of God and Human freedom are conjugate properties. If we can know
exactly what God knows, man has no freedom. If man has total freedom, God does not know what
man will do.
As a Physicist I have my own interpretations and solutions to this vexing problem.
