Why a God certainly does not exist: My Freewill Paradox: Being all-knowledgeable and all-powerful and having freewill are contradictory...
My version of the atheist freewill paradox vs a God: God always knew he was going to create the murderer, so couldn't not create the murderer, and couldn't step in to stop the murder because he always knew the murder would happen. If God stops the murder his knowledge was wrong.
If God doesn't create the murderer his knowledge was wrong also. If God is all-knowledgeable He would know for eternity that he was going to create the murderer and that he couldn't stop the murder. Freewill, omniscience and omnipotence are contradictory. God disproved or not?
OLD DRAFTS:
Alternative:
A thing can't be omnipotent & omniscient because it would always know it was going to create the murderer, it can't have freewill because it always knew it would do this, it would be powerless to intervene because it always knew it was going to create the murderer. God disproved.
Alternative:
1) God is defined as all-knowledgeable and all powerful.
2) But being all-knowledgeable and all-powerful at the same time are contradictory.
3) Therefore a God certainly does not exist.
2 explained: If a thing is defined as having freewill/ is all knowledgeable it would know it was always going to eg create the human to do the murder. It would not be able to intervene because it would know the human was always going to do the murder - it would not be omnipotent.
Alternative to above:
God can't have freewill because He always knew He would eg create the human who does a murder.
God would be powerless to stop the murder as he knew it was always going to happen.
Therefore being all-knowledgeable and all powerful is contradictory.
God certainly doesn't exist.
The above explained:
God and the freewill *contradiction*: A God who has freewill is impossible because he would always know what he was going to do for eternity. When he inevitably creates a human who does a murder he would have always known he was going to do this. The human has no freewill either.
This is because the human was always going to be created by God and was always going to do the murder. God knew all of this for eternity so is bound by being all-knowledgeable. He knows everything that's going to happen including what He will do. He can't make changes either.
If you say God could change his mind and create the human not to do murder after all then his foreknowledge was wrong and God is not all knowledgeable.
A God that can be all-knowledgeable and all-powerful, remembering that God was always going to create the human to do the murder, can't exist for certain because he would not be able to intervene in the murder. Something which is all-knowledgeable cannot be omnipotent: Why?
Because God always knew He was going to create the human to do the murder. God couldn't stop Himself from creating the murderer and as God always knew the human would murder God would be powerless to stop the murderer. Even a human has the power to stop a murder.
God disproved.
