Is there an option called "How the hell would I know?"

I suspect that if there was something out there that exerted influence on God -- God wouldn't be God! I think it's mistake try try to get your head all the way around the idea of what God must be. Intellectual answers CANNOT answer these questions. Omniscient? Omnipotent? As far as we know! As a speck in this universe, I don't feel qualified to say.

If God changed "his" mind, then the only way we would know this is by inferring there was a change in our existence and that we expected the change to be from God. I think the question ought to be is if anything we do at all changes our existence vis a vis our relationship to God. I think the answer is no. I believe God gave people freedom of choice, and with that freedom comes an acceptance of our world as it is. I can live with that.

I can't imagine second-guessing the creator of my universe. I'm happy to enjoy what I've got, and to pass it on when I can.
