Divine foreknowledge. Concerns Nelson Pike and Boethius

concerns nelson pike and boethius - Nelson Pike wrote the article Divine Omniscience and Voluntary Action as an elaboration of Boethius' Divine Foreknowledge and Freedom of the Will. Pike thought that Boethius had a valid, logical argument that was just not thought out fully. Boethius stated that perhaps there is a lack of free will if God already knows what is and will happen. However, in order for this argument to be valid, some assumptions …

…about something, yet God already knows of those changes, and the outcomes derived from them, because God knows everything. This arguement does not claim that there is no free will, nor does it claim that there is free will but no God. The only purpose is to make clear the problems arising form thinking that God is omniscient and also thinking that free will exists. It seems to be logically incorrect to believe in both.
