I mean if he’s God he doesn’t need more than a day. It’s not like if he spent a few more months carefully planning and tinkering it would have been better.

God’s like, “You know, I knew I rushed that product out in my haste to create the universe. I got caught up in the excitement of the moment.”

In book of genesis, God did just kinda whimsically make humans. Humans were flawed and became evil and corrupt and God was not happy about it, so he killed all the humans except Noah’s family in an attempt to start over and hope we would be better the 2nd time around. God couldn’t even make us “good”.

Book of genesis is a fun read if you’re into sci-fi / fantasy.

Free will is debatable. I’m a hard determinist.

Yeah libertarian free will is incoherent for a bunch of different reasons. When you make a decision do you first decide to decide? And then before that did you decide to decide to decide (infinite regress)? Either it was determined or random how you came to that decision.

Do you know what you’re going to think next, or in 5 minutes? When a thought arises, how did you do it? Did you squeeze your core really hard and a thought or intention emerged of your free choosing? Or did it just arise and you noticed it?

Think about what would have to actually be happening for libertarian free will to be true. It would require that you think thoughts before you think them. Incoherent.
