That's not what I'm addressing. What I am addressing is that Calvin said that God intended for the Creation to act as a clear revelation of Himself. Man's nature, according to Calvin, overrode what God intended. Everything I've ever heard from my FRCalvinist friends is that whatever God intends, happens. Except in this case. i would agree that it overrode one aspect of that revelation, only to reveal another one, Justice. Basically the idea that the creation can "thwart" the Creator is absurd on it's face.
