kyo,
tell you how you are wrong? wow, you're completely missing the thrust of a philosophical discussion. i can't tell you you're wrong in the sense that you would be wrong if you told me the capital of texas were philadelphia. i can only express disagreement in your approach to the problem, which i've already done by posting an alternate viewpoint. we're coming from differing basic assumptions about time and God's temporal nature.
your reasoning may or may not have flaws, but much of it depends on the assumptions and baggage you (and everyone else) brings to the discussion. and yes, i do think its pertinent that everyone else is wrestling with the issue. my backup is the fact that someone thought it necessary to start a discussion about this line of thought, so it must be unresolved. my example is my own humble contribution to this thread, as well as millenia of philosophical dissertations on the subject expressing so many ideas.
