I must say, at first your argument seems quite good. As is the case whenever this same argument is used, whether the language is straightforward or whether its nuance slides, as a serpent would hide slithering, among dying, moss covered logpiles. But poke it, just a feather-light touch at the ground beneath, and the whole thing comes crashing to bits.

Your premise, that you can judge God’s will because you meet the necessary criteria of knowing and understanding it fully, is false. So your argument doesn’t hold.

LOL, I simply asked a few questions (which you didn't answer). So, how do you know — unless you can judge God's will — that my argument doesn't hold? You can't judge my argument a failure without elaboration. And if you are thinking of copying and pasting someone else's wisdom, please make it short or better yet, speak your mind.

And since, by your conclusion, you seem to know God's mind, why don't you answer my questions: If God doesn't want "machines" than what will you call people in heaven for all eternity (they will never sin)? If God wanted us to be perfect, why not do it right from the get go? Why all the blood and suffering and killing himself to "fix" the broken world?

Did the world get to be wicked against God's will or according to it? It seems to me that Genesis 6:6 tells us God was unpleasantly surprised (!) and angered/saddened by the wickedness of man,  and that God actually regretted/repented of his creation! Is that a sovereign, all-knowing deity who is in full control? Sure doesn't sound like it to me.
