***kosta: Mental note: why does all-knowing transcendental God need a plan? ***

For kosta there can be no plan since all things happen randomly by chance. God is the perfect mathematician who can calculate the probabilities instantaneously and will come up with the correct calculations almost all the time. Of course, kosta must leave a chance God would not know something since all things happen by chance and so there must be a chance that God could miscalculate.

LOL! Must you twist things to the point of unrecognition just to post something? I said that for a transcendental God there is no past, present and future. He doesn't need a plan because God exists in eternal present.

In other words, a transcendental God sees that which is past, present and future, indeed the whole timeless eternity at once. What's there to plan; for God the past, present and future is "here and now." No "plan" is necessary.

We plan for the future. God doesn't. Unless of course you believe in Zeus or a Zeus-like god.
