Abstract :
Theological incompatibility arguments suggest God’s comprehensiveforeknowledge is incompatible with human free will. Logical incompatibilityarguments suggest a complete set of truths about the future is logically incompatiblewith human free will. Of the two, most think theological incompatibility isthe more severe problem; but hardly anyone thinks either kind of argumentpresents a real threat to free will. I will argue, however, that sound theologicaland logical incompatibility arguments exist and that, in fact, logical incompatiblyis the more severe problem. A deep analysis of the arguments will reveal that,to avoid a fatalist conclusion, we must reject bivalence and adopt a specific kind oftemporal ontology (presentism), which also forces the theist to embrace opentheism
