divine foreknowledge
Nelson Pike wrote the article Divine Omniscience and Voluntary Action as an
elaboration of Boethius' Divine Foreknowledge and Freedom of the Will. Pike thought that
Boethius had a valid, logical argument that was just not thought out fully. Boethius stated that
perhaps there is a lack of free will if God already knows what is and will happen. However, in
order for this argument to be valid, some assumptions need to be made.

…showed last 75 words of 653 total…about something, yet God already knows of those changes, and the
outcomes derived from them, because God knows everything.
This arguement does not claim that there is no free will, nor does it claim that there is
free will but no God. The only purpose is to make clear the problems arising form thinking that
God is omniscient and also thinking that free will exists. It seems to be logically incorrect to
believe in both.
