ATLian,
If a genius lad passes an examination by 100% marks, does that mean that he is a genius? Yes.
If he passes other 100 examinations by 100%, doesn't that prove that he is a genius? Yes.
Dont you think that a genius is only a genius when he knows the right answers to a problem and at the same time the alternative answers? Even including the wrong answers?
For example, let's assume that the only characters that formed knowledge were 0-9 and the signs for manipulating the characters were only + and -. It would have meant that I as grip_daddy, I know all the available knowledge even without straining. So I can give answers to any inquiries concerning this knowledge at any time satisfactorily.
Now let's say I choose to operate as if 1+3=5 instead of 4, and I know that it is 4, does that erase my knowledge? Does it mean that when an inherently genius person decides to give a wrong answer he ceases from being a genius? He has free will remember.
If I can make 100% efficient machine and at the same time it is 100% perfect, then I go ahead and make millions of such machines, would it mean that I can't make a perfect machine when I DECIDE by choice to make a less perfect machine?
Or if I make a machine that can decide to maintain perfection or lose its perfection, then the machine decides to lose its perfection? If it decides to lose its perfection, does that mean that I am not able to make a machine with ability to choose?
I think your argument for an imperfect God is not broad enough.
I am not a complete idiot...some parts are missing. Anonymous.
