- 15:31I
- 15:31didn't
- 15:31like
- 15:31it.
- 15:32When
- 15:32I
- 15:32watched
- 15:32it
- 15:33again
- 15:33last
- 15:33night,
- 15:33there
- 15:34were
- 15:34still
- 15:34things
- 15:34I
- 15:34didn't
- 15:35like,
- 15:35but
- 15:35I
- 15:35had
- 15:35a
- 15:35much
- 15:37deeper
- 15:37appreciation
- 15:38for.
- 15:39So
- 15:40I
- 15:41think
- 15:41it
- 15:41does
- 15:41a
- 15:41great
- 15:42job
- 15:42of
- 15:42posing
- 15:44crucial
- 15:45questions
- 15:46that
- 15:46theologians
- 15:47like
- 15:48me
- 15:48are
- 15:49asking
- 15:49and
- 15:49trying
- 15:50to
- 15:50answer.
- 15:50Well,
- 15:51that
- 15:51seems
- 15:51about
- 15:51as
- 15:52good
- 15:52of
- 15:52a
- 15:53setup
- 15:53as
- 15:53we're
- 15:54going
- 15:54to
- 15:54get
- 15:54for
- 15:54why
- 15:55don't
- 15:55you
- 15:55take
- 15:55a
- 15:56little
- 15:56detour
- 15:56and
- 15:56tell
- 15:56us
- 15:57a
- 15:57little
- 15:57bit
- 15:57more
- 15:57about
- 15:58your
- 15:58theological
- 16:00views
- 16:00and
- 16:00framework.
- 16:01That
- 16:01puts
- 16:02you
- 16:02maybe
- 16:02at
- 16:03odds
- 16:03with
- 16:03the
- 16:04structure
- 16:04of
- 16:04the
- 16:04film
- 16:04or
- 16:05the
- 16:05metaphysics
- 16:05of
- 16:05the
- 16:06film.
- 17:07Sounds
- 17:07good.
- 17:08I
- 17:08think
- 17:09I'll
- 17:09contrast
- 17:09myself
- 17:10with
- 17:10Thomas
- 17:11Aquinas.
- 17:11Thomas
- 17:12Aquinas,
- 17:13Roman
- 17:13Catholic
- 17:13theologian,
- 17:14probably
- 17:15the
- 17:15most
- 17:15influential
- 17:17systematic
- 17:17theologian
- 17:18in
- 17:18Christian
- 17:18history.
- 17:19He
- 17:20and
- 17:20many
- 17:20others
- 17:21in
- 17:22the
- 17:22not
- 17:23only
- 17:23Christian
- 17:23tradition,
- 17:24but
- 17:24Islam
- 17:25and
- 17:25Judaism
- 17:26as
- 17:26well,
- 17:26have
- 17:27thought
- 17:27that
- 17:27in
- 17:27some
- 17:28way
- 17:28God
- 17:29is
- 17:29outside
- 17:29of
- 17:30time
- 17:30or
- 17:31timeless.
- 17:32And
- 17:32because
- 17:32of
- 17:33that,
- 17:33God
- 17:34not
- 17:35only
- 17:35knows
- 17:35what
- 17:35happened
- 17:36in
- 17:36the
- 17:36past,
- 17:37what's
- 17:37happening
- 17:38in
- 17:38the
- 17:38present,
- 17:39but
- 17:39God
- 17:39can
- 17:40know
- 17:40with
- 17:40100%
- 17:41accuracy
- 17:42everything
- 17:43that's
- 17:43going
- 17:43to
- 17:44happen
- 17:44in
- 17:44the
- 17:44future.
- 17:45In
- 17:45fact,
- 17:45Thomas
- 17:46Aquinas
- 17:47and
- 17:47I
- 17:47think
- 17:47this
- 17:47is
- 17:48especially
- 17:48appropriate
- 17:49for
- 17:49this
- 17:50movie.
- 17:50Thomas
- 17:51Aquinas
- 17:51often
- 17:52talks
- 17:52about
- 17:53God
- 17:54seeing
- 17:54the
- 17:55future.
- 17:56So
- 17:56it's
- 17:56a
- 17:57visual
- 17:57metaphor
- 17:58of
- 17:58God's
- 17:58knowledge
- 17:59of
- 17:59what's
- 17:59going
- 17:59to
- 17:59happen.
- 18:00Of
- 18:00course,
- 18:00in
- 18:01this
- 18:01movie
- 18:01you
- 18:02have
- 18:02three
- 18:02individuals
- 18:03called
- 18:03precogs
- 18:04who
- 18:05somehow
- 18:05can
- 18:05see
- 18:06video
- 18:07type
- 18:07footage
- 18:08of
- 18:08what's
- 18:08going
- 18:08to
- 18:09happen
- 18:09in
- 18:09the
- 18:09future.
- 18:10And
- 18:10that
- 18:10seems
- 18:11very
- 18:11similar
- 18:12to
- 18:12what
- 18:12maybe
- 18:13Thomas
- 18:13Aquinas
- 18:14might
- 18:14have
- 18:14had
- 18:14in
- 18:14mind.
- 18:15I,
- 18:15however,
- 18:16reject
- 18:16that
- 18:17view
- 18:17of
- 18:17God
- 18:18and
- 18:18time.
- 18:19I
- 18:19don't
- 18:20think
- 18:20God
- 18:20knows
- 18:20the
- 18:21future
- 18:21with
- 18:21certainty.
- 18:22I
- 18:22don't
- 18:22think
- 18:22the
- 18:23future
- 18:23is
- 18:24capable
- 18:24of
- 18:24being
- 18:25known
- 18:25because
- 18:25it's
- 18:25not.
- 18:26Doesn't
- 18:26yet
- 18:26exist.
- 18:27So
- 18:27I
- 18:27think
- 18:28God
- 18:28knows
- 18:28everything
- 18:29that
- 18:29happened
- 18:29in
- 18:29the
- 18:30past,
- 18:31everything
- 18:31that's
- 18:31happening
- 18:32in
- 18:32the
- 18:32present,
- 18:33and
- 18:33all
- 18:34possibilities
- 18:34for
- 18:35the
- 18:35future.
- 18:36But
- 18:36again,
- 18:37God
- 18:37can't
- 18:38know
- 18:38the
- 18:38future
- 18:38in
- 18:39my
- 18:39view,
- 18:39because
- 18:40there
- 18:40is
- 18:40no
- 18:40future
- 18:41yet
- 18:41to
- 18:41be
- 18:41known.
- 18:43The
- 18:43reason
- 18:43I
- 18:43believe
- 18:44this,
- 18:44there's
- 18:44actually
- 18:45several.
- 18:45But
- 18:45one
- 18:45of
- 18:46them
- 18:46has
- 18:46to
- 18:46do
- 18:47with
- 18:47the
- 18:47questions
- 18:47of
- 18:47free
- 18:48will
- 18:48and
- 18:48moral
- 18:49responsibility,
- 18:49which
- 18:50I'm
- 18:50sure
- 18:50we'll
- 18:51get
- 18:51to.
- 18:51Should
- 18:52I
- 18:52stop
- 18:52there
- 18:52as
- 18:52sort
- 18:53of

- 18:57good.
- 18:58That
- 18:58sets
- 18:58table

- 24:58forth.
- 24:58It
- 24:58is
- 24:58interesting

- 26:28about

- 26:29It
- 26:29is
- 26:29infallible.
- 26:30Whereas
- 26:31in
- 26:31this
- 26:31movie,
- 26:33you

- 26:37there's

- 26:40things,
- 26:41and
- 26:42these
- 26:42Precogs
- 26:43don't
- 26:44all
- 26:44agree.
- 26:45And
- 26:45in
- 26:46fact,
- 26:46by
- 26:47the
- 26:47time
- 26:47the
- 26:47movie's
- 26:48ending,
- 26:48you
- 26:49even

- 26:54saw
- 26:55in
- 26:55the

- 26:56So
- 26:56they're
- 26:56obviously
- 26:57not
- 26:57infallible.
- 26:58So
- 26:58that's
- 26:59one
- 26:59of
- 26:59the
- 26:59differences,
- 27:00I
- 27:00think,
- 27:00in
- 27:01this
- 27:01movie
- 27:01from
- 27:03the
- 27:03theological
- 27:03notion
- 27:04of
- 27:04divine
- 27:05foreknowledge.
- 27:06And
- 27:06do
- 27:06we
- 27:07think
- 27:07that
- 27:07that
- 27:07is
- 27:08an
- 27:09epistemological
- 27:11issue,
- 27:11Right,
- 27:11that
- 27:12just
- 27:12these
- 27:12Precogs
- 27:13have
- 27:13an
- 27:13imperfect
- 27:14knowledge
- 27:15of
- 27:15a
- 27:16set
- 27:16future?
- 27:16Or
- 27:16is
- 27:16it
- 27:17an
- 27:17ontological
- 27:17issue
- 27:17that
- 27:18the

- 27:18is
- 27:18not

- 27:20as
- 27:21is
- 27:22implied
- 27:22by
- 27:22those
- 27:22visions?
- 27:23Yeah,
- 27:23I
- 27:24don't
- 27:24think
- 27:24the
- 27:24movie
- 27:25resolves
- 27:26that
- 27:26question.
- 27:27In
- 27:28theology,
- 27:30I
- 27:30can't
- 27:30think
- 27:30of
- 27:31anybody
- 27:31who
- 27:31believes
- 27:32that
- 27:33God's
- 27:34knowledge
- 27:34of
- 27:35the
- 27:35future
- 27:35doesn't
- 27:36also
- 27:36entail
- 27:37the
- 27:38ontological
- 27:38fact
- 27:39that
- 27:39the
- 27:40future
- 27:40is
- 27:40the
- 27:40way
- 27:41God
- 27:41knows
- 27:41it
- 27:41to
- 27:41be.
- 27:42So,
- 27:43you
- 27:43know,
- 27:43God's
- 27:43knowing
- 27:44and
- 27:44the
- 27:44future
- 27:45being
- 27:45the
- 27:45way
- 27:46it
- 27:46is,
- 27:46that's
- 27:47infallible.
- 27:49Of
- 27:49course,
- 27:49for
- 27:50us,
- 27:50that's
- 27:50maybe
- 27:51another
- 27:51question
- 27:52like.
- 27:53But
- 27:53ultimately,
- 27:54I
- 27:54think
- 27:56a
- 27:56lot
- 27:56rides
- 27:57on
- 27:57this
- 27:57issue
- 27:58of
- 27:58whether
- 27:58or
- 27:59not
- 27:59the
- 28:00future
- 28:00is
- 28:00settled
- 28:01ontologically.
- 28:02If
- 28:02it's
- 28:02a
- 28:02fact,
- 28:03if
- 28:03it's
- 28:04a
- 28:04final
- 28:04state
- 28:05of
- 28:05affairs,
- 28:06if
- 28:06it's
- 28:07fixed
- 28:08and
- 28:09someone
- 28:09like
- 28:09me.
- 28:10Well,
- 28:10I
- 28:10won't
- 28:11say
- 28:11someone
- 28:11like
- 28:11me
- 28:12me.
- 28:13I.
- 28:14I
- 28:14don't
- 28:15think
- 28:15that
- 28:16anyone,
- 28:17God
- 28:17included,
- 28:18can
- 28:19be
- 28:19absolutely
- 28:20certain
- 28:20about
- 28:21the
- 28:21future
- 28:21unless
- 28:23that
- 28:23future
- 28:24is
- 28:24settled,
- 28:25fixed,
- 28:25determined.
- 28:26But
- 28:27if
- 28:27that
- 28:28future
- 28:28is
- 28:28settled,
- 28:29fixed
- 28:29and
- 28:29determined,
- 28:30then
- 28:30that
- 28:30seems
- 28:31contrary
- 28:32to
- 28:32free
- 28:32will,
- 28:33if
- 28:33free
- 28:33will
- 28:34is
- 28:34making
- 28:35choices
- 28:35amongst
- 28:36possibilities,
- 28:37and
- 28:37one
- 28:37could
- 28:38do
- 28:38otherwise.
- 28:38So
- 28:39that's
- 28:39where
- 28:39the
- 28:40tension
- 28:40arises
- 28:41in
- 28:42the
- 28:42movie
- 28:42and
- 28:42in
- 28:43theology.
- 28:43If
- 28:44God
- 28:44knows
- 28:44the
- 28:45Future.
- 28:45And
- 28:45God
- 28:46can't
- 28:46be
- 28:46wrong
- 28:47about
- 28:47that.
- 28:47The
- 28:48future
- 28:48must
- 28:48be
- 28:49settled.
- 28:50But
- 28:50a
- 28:50settled
- 28:51future
- 28:51seems
- 28:52to
- 28:52be
- 28:52incompatible
- 28:53with
- 28:54us
- 28:54freely
- 28:54choosing
- 28:55among
- 28:56live
- 28:56options.
- 28:57Right.
- 28:57Which
- 28:58is
- 28:58my
- 28:58problem
- 28:59with
- 28:59your
- 28:59point
- 29:00of
- 29:00view,
- 29:00because

- 29:01You

- 29:01you
- 29:01and
- 29:02I

- 29:09Just
- 29:09a
- 29:09small

- 29:10like
- 29:10that.
- 29:12Something
- 29:12we
- 29:12can
- 29:12ignore.
- 29:14That's
- 29:14right.
- 29:15Yeah.
- 29:16I
- 29:16would
- 29:16say,
- 29:17if
- 29:18I
- 29:18was.
- 29:18Well,
- 29:19I
- 29:19guess

- 30:38be
- 30:38fair.
- 30:39You

- 30:39Okay.
- 30:40I
- 30:40don't
- 30:40like

- 30:43At
- 30:43least
- 30:43his
- 30:43doctrine
- 30:44of
- 30:44God.

- 30:45on
- 30:46a
- 30:46lot
- 30:46of

- 30:46not
- 30:46when

- 30:47to
- 30:47God.
- 30:48But
- 30:48I
- 30:49do
- 30:49think
- 30:49even
- 30:49people
- 30:50who

- 31:00Probably
- 31:00so.
- 31:01I

- 31:01one
- 31:01of
- 31:01the
- 31:02big
- 31:02questions
- 31:03that
- 31:03I
- 31:03kept
- 31:03asking
- 31:04myself
- 31:04when
- 31:04I
- 31:04was
- 31:05watching
- 31:05the
- 31:05Minority
- 31:06Report
- 31:06last
- 31:06night,
- 31:06again,
- 31:07is
- 31:08a
- 31:08question
- 31:08that
- 31:09I
- 31:09guess
- 31:10I
- 31:10kind
- 31:10of
- 31:10posed
- 31:10for
- 31:10the
- 31:11three
- 31:11of
- 31:11you.
- 31:11And
- 31:11that's
- 31:11the
- 31:12question
- 31:12of
- 31:12moral
- 31:13responsibility.
- 31:14And
- 31:15the
- 31:15film
- 31:15asks
- 31:16it.
- 31:16You
- 31:16know,
- 31:16if
- 31:17these
- 31:17Precogs
- 31:18are
- 31:18seeing
- 31:19something
- 31:19that's
- 31:20going
- 31:20to
- 31:20happen
- 31:20in
- 31:21the
- 31:21future,
- 31:21it
- 31:22hasn't
- 31:22yet
- 31:22happened.
- 31:23And
- 31:23the
- 31:24police
- 31:24arrive
- 31:25before
- 31:25the
- 31:27murder
- 31:27occurs,
- 31:28is
- 31:29the
- 31:29person
- 31:29who
- 31:30was
- 31:30going
- 31:31to
- 31:31do
- 31:31the

- 31:34is
- 31:34that
- 31:34person
- 31:35genuinely
- 31:36morally
- 31:36responsible?
- 31:37We
- 31:38normally
- 31:38think
- 31:39a
- 31:40person
- 31:40isn't
- 31:40morally
- 31:41responsible
- 31:42for
- 31:42some
- 31:42action
- 31:43unless
- 31:43that
- 31:43person
- 31:44actually
- 31:44does
- 31:44the
- 31:44action.
- 31:46But
- 31:46in
- 31:47this
- 31:47case
- 31:47in
- 31:47the
- 31:47Minority
- 31:48Report,
- 31:49there's
- 31:50so
- 31:50much
- 31:50trust
- 31:51that
- 31:51the
- 31:51Precogs
- 31:52know
- 31:52what's
- 31:52going
- 31:52to
- 31:52happen
- 31:52in
- 31:53advance
- 31:54that
- 31:54they
- 31:55make
- 31:55the
- 31:55assumption
- 31:56that
- 31:57the
- 31:57person
- 31:58not
- 31:58only
- 31:58would
- 31:58have
- 31:59done
- 31:59it,
- 31:59but
- 31:59that
- 31:59would
- 32:00have.
- 32:00Doing
- 32:00the
- 32:00action
- 32:01is
- 32:02the
- 32:02truth
- 32:03of
- 32:03the
- 32:03matter.
- 32:03Ontologically,
- 32:05that's
- 32:05a
- 32:06pretty
- 32:06big
- 32:06jump.
- 32:07It's
- 32:07a
- 32:07jump
- 32:08I
- 32:08think
- 32:08a
- 32:09lot
- 32:09of
- 32:09theologians
- 32:10want
- 32:10to
- 32:10make
- 32:11when
- 32:11they
- 32:11say
- 32:11that
- 32:11God
- 32:12foreknows
- 32:13from
- 32:13all
- 32:13eternity
- 32:14that
- 32:14the
- 32:15four
- 32:15of
- 32:15us
- 32:15are
- 32:15going
- 32:15to
- 32:16have
- 32:16this
- 32:16conversation
- 32:17right
- 32:17now,
- 32:18and
- 32:18yet
- 32:18we
- 32:18somehow
- 32:19freely
- 32:19do
- 32:19it,
- 32:20and
- 32:20we're
- 32:21somehow
- 32:21freely
- 32:21responsible.
- 32:22And
- 32:23if
- 32:23we
- 32:23sin
- 32:23in
- 32:24this,
- 32:24we
- 32:24somehow
- 32:24are
- 32:25responsible
- 32:25for
- 32:25that
- 32:26sin.
- 32:26But
- 32:27it
- 32:27seems
- 32:27weird
- 32:28to
- 32:28think
- 32:28that
- 32:30until.
- 32:31That
- 32:31we're
- 32:31guilty
- 32:32of
- 32:32something
- 32:32even
- 32:33before
- 32:33we've
- 32:34even
- 32:34done
- 32:34it.
- 32:35Yeah.
- 32:35Well.
- 32:36So

- 32:38are
- 32:38Calvinist,
- 32:39which
- 32:39might
- 32:39have
- 32:40caused
- 32:40this
- 32:40problem.
- 32:40Is
- 32:41that
- 32:41right?
- 32:41Okay,
- 32:41maybe
- 32:42that's
- 32:42what
- 32:42it
- 32:42seems
- 32:43like
- 32:43from
- 32:43the

- 32:44From
- 32:44the
- 32:44movie.
- 32:44Yeah,
- 32:45I
- 32:45guess
- 32:45so.
- 32:46But
- 32:47I
- 32:48do
- 32:48think
- 32:48it's
- 32:48interesting
- 32:48because
- 32:49they

- 32:50least
- 32:50all
- 32:51of

- 33:00John
- 33:00Anderton
- 33:01proves
- 33:01otherwise.
- 33:03And
- 33:03I
- 33:04can
- 33:04understand
- 33:04the
- 33:04attraction
- 33:05of
- 33:05it,
- 33:06because
- 33:07this
- 33:08was

- 34:04it's.
- 34:05I
- 34:05think
- 34:05it's

- 34:06if
- 34:06we
- 34:06ask

- 34:07more
- 34:07personally.
- 34:08Like,
- 34:08the
- 34:09four
- 34:09of
- 34:09us,
- 34:09would
- 34:10we

- 34:11spend
- 34:11the
- 34:11rest
- 34:11of
- 34:11our
- 34:11lives
- 34:12in
- 34:12a
- 34:12vat
- 34:12to
- 34:12prevent

- 34:16I
- 34:16think
- 34:16I
- 34:16might.
- 34:17Yeah.
- 34:17But
- 34:18that
- 34:18assumes
- 34:18that
- 34:19the
- 34:19Precogs
- 34:19were
- 34:20there
- 34:20voluntarily,
- 34:20which
- 34:21they
- 34:21weren't.
- 34:22Yeah.

- 34:26settle
- 34:26that
- 34:26clearly.

- 34:31manipulated
- 34:32into
- 34:32it,
- 34:32at
- 34:32least.
- 34:33And
- 34:33they
- 34:33don't
- 34:33really
- 34:33cover
- 34:33the
- 34:34other
- 34:34two.
- 34:34They
- 34:34know,
- 34:35like,
- 34:35we
- 34:35know
- 34:35their
- 34:35lab

- 34:38change
- 34:38your
- 34:38question
- 34:39slightly,
- 34:39tj?
- 34:40I'll
- 34:40still
- 34:40keep
- 34:41it
- 34:41personal.
- 34:42Would
- 34:43you
- 34:43ask
- 34:44your
- 34:44partner

- 34:46rest
- 34:46of
- 34:46their
- 34:47lives
- 34:47in
- 34:47a
- 34:47vat
- 34:48to
- 34:49prevent

- 39:41Yeah.
- 39:42But
- 39:42I
- 39:42would
- 39:43say
- 39:43probably
- 39:43Jesus
- 39:44of
- 39:44Nazareth
- 39:45because
- 39:45he
- 39:45did
- 39:45it.
- 39:46Mine's
- 39:47hypothetical.
- 39:48All
- 39:49right.
- 39:49For
- 39:49now,
- 39:49at
- 39:50least.
- 39:51But
- 39:51we'll
- 39:52see.
- 39:52Maybe
- 39:52that's
- 39:52the
- 39:53form
- 39:53that
- 39:53he'll
- 39:53come
- 39:53back
- 39:54in,
- 39:54is
- 39:54as
- 39:54a
- 39:54Precog,
- 39:55maybe
- 39:56so
- 39:56Maybe
- 39:56so.
- 39:58So
- 39:58it
- 39:58is
- 39:59Andy.
- 40:00I
- 40:00just,
- 40:00you
- 40:00know
- 40:01that

- 40:01we've
- 40:01gone

- 40:03I
- 40:03did
- 40:03not
- 40:03see
- 40:04any
- 40:04of
- 40:04this
- 40:04coming,
- 40:08but
- 40:09it
- 40:09felt
- 40:09like
- 40:09we
- 40:10hit
- 40:10maybe
- 40:10a
- 40:10lull
- 40:11in
- 40:11that.
- 40:11In
- 40:11that

- 40:13us
- 40:13in
- 40:13a

- 41:28not
- 41:28necessarily
- 41:29straightforward
- 41:29to
- 41:29understand,
- 41:30which
- 41:30kind
- 41:31of
- 41:31to
- 41:31me
- 41:32rhymes
- 41:32a
- 41:32little
- 41:32bit
- 41:32with
- 41:33certainly
- 41:33prophecy
- 41:34and
- 41:34other

- 41:49there's
- 41:49some
- 41:49twist
- 41:50in
- 41:50the
- 41:50narrative

- 41:51hero
- 41:51or

- 41:54that.
- 41:55And
- 41:56maybe
- 41:56there's
- 41:56an
- 41:56element
- 41:57of,
- 41:58you
- 41:58know,
- 41:58interpret.
- 41:58This
- 41:59is
- 41:59obviously
- 41:59an
- 41:59element
- 41:59of
- 41:59interpretation
- 42:00to
- 42:00scriptural
- 42:01prophecy
- 42:01and
- 42:01so
- 42:01forth.
- 42:01So
- 42:02yeah,
- 42:02I
- 42:02just
- 42:02kind
- 42:02of
- 42:02wanted
- 42:03to
- 42:03put
- 42:03that
- 42:03on
- 42:03the
- 42:03table.
- 42:04I
- 42:04could
- 42:04have
- 42:04maybe
- 42:04formed
- 42:05that
- 42:05in
- 42:05the
- 42:05better
- 42:05as
- 42:05a
- 42:05question,
- 42:06but
- 42:06I'd
- 42:07love
- 42:07to
- 42:07hear
- 42:08folks
- 42:08takes
- 42:08on
- 42:09those
- 42:10issues.
- 42:10I'll
- 42:11start.
- 42:12Yeah,
- 42:12I
- 42:12think
- 42:13you
- 42:13raise
- 42:14something
- 42:15that's
- 42:15dis.
- 42:15Analogous
- 42:17to
- 42:18the
- 42:18theological
- 42:19question
- 42:19of
- 42:19God
- 42:20knowing
- 42:20the
- 42:20future
- 42:21and
- 42:22being
- 42:22able
- 42:22to
- 42:23provide
- 42:23a
- 42:23revelation
- 42:24of
- 42:24what
- 42:24that
- 42:24future
- 42:25is.
- 42:26Because
- 42:27as
- 42:27you
- 42:27rightly
- 42:27say,
- 42:28the
- 42:28revelation
- 42:29provided
- 42:30by
- 42:30the
- 42:30Precogs
- 42:31in
- 42:31the
- 42:31movie
- 42:32is
- 42:33ambiguous.
- 42:34Requires
- 42:35a
- 42:35great
- 42:35deal
- 42:36of
- 42:37interpretation
- 42:38from
- 42:38Tom
- 42:38Cruise
- 42:39and
- 42:39others.
- 42:41And
- 42:41while
- 42:41that
- 42:42may
- 42:42sound
- 42:43parallel
- 42:43to
- 42:44let's
- 42:44say,
- 42:45revelation,
- 42:45we
- 42:45find
- 42:46in
- 42:46scripture
- 42:46having
- 42:47multiple
- 42:47Interpretations
- 42:49or
- 42:49revelations
- 42:50that
- 42:50people
- 42:51allegedly
- 42:52have
- 42:52from
- 42:52mystical
- 42:53experiences,
- 42:54not
- 42:54necessarily
- 42:55aligning
- 42:55with
- 42:56the
- 42:56mystical
- 42:56experience
- 42:57of
- 42:57others.
- 42:58The
- 42:58big
- 42:58difference
- 42:59I
- 42:59see
- 43:00is
- 43:00that
- 43:01most
- 43:02theologians
- 43:02have
- 43:03thought
- 43:03that
- 43:03God
- 43:04is
- 43:04omnipotent,
- 43:05and
- 43:05God,
- 43:06unlike
- 43:06the
- 43:07Precogs,
- 43:08could
- 43:08guarantee
- 43:10at
- 43:10least
- 43:10an
- 43:10omnipotent
- 43:11God
- 43:11could
- 43:11guarantee
- 43:13that
- 43:13we
- 43:14have
- 43:15an
- 43:15unambiguous
- 43:16revelation,
- 43:17a
- 43:17crystal
- 43:17clear
- 43:18revelation.
- 43:19And
- 43:19of
- 43:19course,
- 43:19that's
- 43:20what
- 43:20some
- 43:20people
- 43:20think
- 43:20they
- 43:20get
- 43:21with
- 43:21Scripture,
- 43:21or.
- 43:22Or
- 43:22they
- 43:22think
- 43:22they
- 43:22get
- 43:23that
- 43:23from
- 43:23the
- 43:23church
- 43:24or
- 43:24they
- 43:24think
- 43:24they
- 43:24get
- 43:25that
- 43:25from
- 43:25their
- 43:26personal
- 43:27mystical
- 43:27experience.
- 43:28But
- 43:29I
- 43:29have
- 43:29lots
- 43:30of
- 43:30doubts
- 43:30that
- 43:30anyone
- 43:31gets
- 43:31any
- 43:32unambiguous
- 43:33revelation.
- 43:34So
- 43:35that's
- 43:36one
- 43:36of
- 43:36the
- 43:36differences.
- 43:37God
- 43:38of
- 43:39traditional
- 43:40theism
- 43:40is
- 43:41omnipotent
- 43:42and
- 43:42could
- 43:42make
- 43:42the
- 43:43revelations
- 43:43crystal
- 43:44clear.
- 43:45The
- 43:45Precogs
- 43:46and
- 43:46the
- 43:46minority
- 43:46part
- 43:47apparently
- 43:48don't
- 43:48have
- 43:48that
- 43:48ability.
- 44:40Yeah,
- 44:41part
- 44:42of
- 44:42it
- 44:42is
- 44:42just.
- 44:42It
- 44:43adds
- 44:43to
- 44:44really
- 44:44good
- 44:44storytelling
- 44:45here
- 44:45in
- 44:45the
- 44:45movie
- 44:45because,
- 44:46you
- 44:47know,
- 44:47I
- 44:47mean,
- 44:47they're.
- 44:48They're
- 44:49the
- 44:49multiple
- 44:49angles
- 44:50here
- 44:50because
- 44:50I
- 44:50also
- 44:51know
- 44:51it
- 44:51was
- 44:51funny
- 44:52too.
- 44:52I'm.
- 44:52This
- 44:52is
- 44:53kind
- 44:53of
- 44:53a
- 44:53side
- 44:53note,
- 44:53but
- 44:54I

- 46:39Like

- 46:43Scripture
- 46:43could

- 46:57not
- 46:57really
- 46:57relevant.
- 46:58But
- 46:59it
- 46:59feels

- 47:59So
- 48:00the

- 48:02This

- 48:12see
- 48:12someone
- 48:13who
- 48:13has
- 48:14your
- 48:14view
- 48:15that
- 48:15somehow
- 48:16God
- 48:16knows
- 48:17the
- 48:17future
- 48:17and
- 48:18the
- 48:18future
- 48:18is
- 48:19settled.
- 48:20Someone
- 48:20could
- 48:21say,
- 48:21okay,
- 48:22the
- 48:22prophets
- 48:23of
- 48:23Scripture
- 48:24are
- 48:24given
- 48:25a
- 48:25revelation
- 48:26from
- 48:26God
- 48:26about
- 48:27events
- 48:27that
- 48:27are
- 48:28already,
- 48:28have
- 48:29already,
- 48:29quote,
- 48:29happened

- 48:30God's
- 48:31time,
- 48:31but
- 48:32not
- 48:32yet
- 48:32in
- 48:32our
- 48:33time.
- 48:33But
- 48:34God
- 48:34gives
- 48:35them
- 48:35that
- 48:35knowledge.
- 48:36And
- 48:36I
- 48:36reject
- 48:37that
- 48:37view.
- 48:37But
- 48:37that
- 48:38would
- 48:38be
- 48:38plausible
- 48:39on
- 48:39your
- 48:39view?
- 48:41Yeah.
- 48:41Which
- 48:42I
- 48:42think
- 48:42is
- 48:42how
- 48:43prophecy
- 48:43would
- 48:43work
- 48:44with
- 48:44that
- 48:44view.
- 48:45Okay.
- 48:45That's
- 48:46just

- 48:46of.
- 48:46Yeah,
- 48:47he
- 48:47already
- 48:47knows
- 48:47it
- 48:47happened,
- 48:48so
- 48:48that's
- 48:48how

- 48:48tell
- 48:49you
- 48:49about
- 48:49it.
- 48:49I
- 48:50think
- 48:50it'd
- 48:50be
- 48:50interesting
- 48:51to
- 48:51discuss
- 48:51a
- 48:52stance
- 48:52wherein
- 48:52God
- 48:52is
- 48:53simply
- 48:53at
- 48:53the
- 48:53end
- 48:54of
- 48:54time
- 48:55and
- 48:55able
- 48:55to
- 48:55come
- 48:56back
- 48:56to
- 48:57voice
- 48:57his
- 48:57thoughts
- 48:58and,
- 48:58you
- 48:58know,
- 48:58give
- 48:59his
- 48:59qualms.
- 49:00And
- 49:01maybe
- 49:01more
- 49:02plausibly
- 49:02that
- 49:02way
- 49:03you
- 49:03could
- 49:03believe
- 49:03in
- 49:04free
- 49:04will.
- 49:05Maybe
- 49:05not.
- 49:06One
- 49:06of
- 49:07the
- 49:07common
- 49:08critic
- 49:08objections
- 49:09to
- 49:09my
- 49:10view
- 49:10Says
- 49:11something
- 49:11like
- 49:11this,
- 49:12yes,
- 49:13God
- 49:13knows
- 49:14the
- 49:14future,
- 49:15but
- 49:16God's
- 49:16knowing
- 49:17the
- 49:17future
- 49:18doesn't
- 49:18force
- 49:19me
- 49:19to
- 49:19make
- 49:20one
- 49:20decision
- 49:20or
- 49:21another.
- 49:21Knowledge
- 49:22doesn't
- 49:23force.
- 49:24That's
- 49:24a
- 49:25very
- 49:25common
- 49:26response,
- 49:26and
- 49:26that's.
- 49:27They're
- 49:27responding
- 49:28to
- 49:28a
- 49:28view
- 49:28that's
- 49:28not
- 49:29mine,
- 49:29but
- 49:29they
- 49:29interpret
- 49:30me
- 49:30as
- 49:30saying
- 49:30that.
- 49:32But
- 49:32what
- 49:32I
- 49:33am
- 49:33saying
- 49:33is
- 49:33that
- 49:34it
- 49:34is
- 49:34not
- 49:34that
- 49:34God's
- 49:35alleged
- 49:35knowledge
- 49:36of
- 49:36the
- 49:36future
- 49:37somehow
- 49:38forces
- 49:38us
- 49:38to
- 49:39do
- 49:39one
- 49:39thing
- 49:40or
- 49:40another,
- 49:40and
- 49:40we
- 49:40are
- 49:40not
- 49:41free.
- 49:41I
- 49:42am
- 49:42saying
- 49:42God
- 49:43could
- 49:43only
- 49:44be
- 49:45absolutely
- 49:45certain
- 49:46about
- 49:46the
- 49:46future
- 49:47if
- 49:48the
- 49:48future
- 49:48were
- 49:49settled,
- 49:49fixed,
- 49:50determined.
- 49:51And
- 49:51if
- 49:52this
- 49:52future's
- 49:53settled,
- 49:54fixed
- 49:54and
- 49:54determined,
- 49:55that's
- 49:55incompatible
- 49:56with
- 49:56us
- 49:57choosing
- 49:57amongst
- 49:58live
- 49:58options.
- 49:59There's
- 49:59a
- 49:59subtle
- 50:00distinction
- 50:00there,
- 50:00but
- 50:00I
- 50:01think
- 50:01it's
- 50:01a
- 50:01pretty
- 50:01important.
- 50:02It
- 50:02is.
- 50:02It
- 50:02makes
- 50:03a
- 50:03huge
- 50:03difference.
- 50:04But
- 50:04I
- 50:05think
- 50:05this
- 50:05also.
- 50:06Actually,
- 50:07I
- 50:07want

- 50:16for
- 50:16the
- 50:17Minority
- 50:17Report,
- 50:17and
- 50:18it's
- 50:18crucial
- 50:18for
- 50:19many
- 50:19theologians
- 50:20who
- 50:20think
- 50:21that
- 50:21God
- 50:21knows
- 50:21the
- 50:22future.
- 50:22And
- 50:23I

- 51:11Part

- 51:12my
- 51:12criticism
- 51:13of
- 51:13the
- 51:13classical
- 51:14view
- 51:14that
- 51:14God
- 51:15sees
- 51:15the

- 51:16is
- 51:17that
- 51:17it
- 51:18seems
