Which pretty much means that whatever we believe, may or may not be true, so it don’t really matter, ‘cause God already knows what’s going to happen.

One's belief never alters facts. The best one can hope for is to alter one's beliefs to conform to extra-dimensional Will

I may believe that flapping my arms rapidly might get me to Malaysia. My flight path, however, will be unaltered, and disappointing.

Free will is real. Perception of its effects within constraints of 4th dimensional physical reality, however, remains pale in comparison to His N-dimensional perspective.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I agree one’s beliefs doesn’t alter facts, that’s why I said it doesn’t matter what we believe.

The concept of free will is real, but the act itself is not provable. After the fact, no one has any way of proving they could have done otherwise, just a belief they could have.
