William Lane Craig Enters the Realm of Open Theism, Paints Blasphemous Picture of God Subservient to Time

It takes a certain kind of brainpower to stumble headfirst into heresy while thinking you’ve just unlocked the deepest philosophical vault in heaven. But that’s exactly what William Lane Craig does with his recent theological gymnastics. Craig is so smart, he’s stupid—literally, because this one’s a doozy.

Here’s what Craig actually said—verbatim:

"One might think that if God is omniscient, then he can't learn anything new, because to be omniscient is to know all truth, it's to know all the facts there are. But in fact, an omniscient being can learn things that are new if he is in time.

If God is in time, then at any particular moment of time, he knows all the truths that there are at that moment. But if truth changes over time, then God's knowledge will change over time as well. So to illustrate, say at a certain moment, God knows that Bill Craig is now eating lunch.

But in a few moments, he will no longer know that, because Bill Craig is not eating lunch at that moment. He will now know Bill Craig is resuming his study, and he'll come to know instead of Bill Craig is now eating lunch, he will say Bill Craig was then eating lunch.

So if God is in time, even though he knows all the truths that there are at any moment of time, because truths change over time, God will in fact learn new truths, new facts as time elapses."
