I see what you said now asaris. I didn't notice that it was important for God to have Eric buy the iguana.
Mind you, if Eric didn't buy the iguana, why not send someone to intervene and tell him he should do so.
Or keep letting Eric walk past the shop with the chance that he might buy it?

True. To a point.
God might know that were I to walk into a room to see my mother being molested by a man, that man would die. But what about less dramatic stuff?
What causes God to decide that certain actions fall within his defined set of feasible worlds?
Me stealing some candy from a store?
The president authorising a nuclear attack?
To me, that's what would really decide whether this was typical of god.
Correct me if I've got the wrong end again. I still need to read your link.
