I disagree with this point. A little child understands the concept of choice, illusion or not, the first human had some semblance of choice. The so called 'illusion of choice' was not perfected by humans over thousands of years. It is something ingrained in us from the inception humanity.
Exactly, so we can't do anything that He doesn't want us to do. He allows us to follow our own logic or emotions to arrive at predetermined options.
Yes, but does predefined choices really effect change or do those choices just follow set patterns? If the choices that mankind makes are predetermined then how can man be in control if he can only pick from options made available to him? Remember, God is the one who makes those options available. Choice is not synonymous with Control, they are two different things. They may be intertwined but they are not synonymous.
Yes we both agree that God has absolute control
Yes, and since every facet of our existence is designed then any choice we would have made has already been analyzed hence why God is still in control even if a human has some semblance of choice.
Choice is a real concept to humans. We are not God, we are not omniscient, we were given a concept of choice to exist as intelligent beings. The point is that every facet of our life is affected by decisions. If it is an illusion, the illusion was created by God. The illusions play a part in determining how we will end up in the long run.
The rules of a video game are usually defined and there are only a limited amount of ways to win that game. Even though the game is not real we still have to take specific options if we want to win. Similarly, it doesn't matter whether choice is an illusion or not. Humans are the ones stuck on earth, there's absolutely no way to escape. We have to play by the rules, we are allowed the concept of choice in our frame of existence.
The concept of choice is real and living when considered on the plane of humanity.
