Monthly Presentation: Omniscient God vs Free Will

Can God know everything and still leave room for human choice? If the future were already fully known, it might seem that our choices aren’t truly ours — a problem that also connects to why evil exists in the world.

Nathan Huffine will argue that these puzzles can be solved in a way that preserves human freedom, respects God’s omniscience, and offers a rational way to think about evil — by showing how God can know everything that can be known, even if the future isn’t completely fixed.

About Nathan - Nathan Huffine is a PhD student in Philosophy at CU Boulder, exploring ethics, religion, and questions of moral and political authority.
