Attributes Of God: Omnipotence and Omniscience

Theistic evolutionists hold that there is no God concept attributable to anything that could be called a physical principle, for there can be no such thing. Creation and destruction are attributed to God according to the Bible, and those who deny this have no answer from the facts. Theists maintain that God created the universe in six days, and He will bring it into the state of omniscience (Omni benevolence).

Omniscience means, “Knowing everything.” Omnipotence is so complete that He can know all things without having to work or move. All things exist in God because He is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Omnipotence is not a part of the natural order, according to traditional religious interpretations. Theistic evolutionists believe that the entire universe was designed and created by God.

God concept attributable to logic follows the principle, “if A then so is B.” If A is something that actually exists and does something B also does then A and B are logically equal. There is nothing that A can do that cannot also be done by B. This is the most important of all the theistic evolutionist premises: logic is applied to everything. There is no such thing as God anymore as long as A and B are logically equivalent.

The other important of theistic evolutionist premise is: “God is omniscient and omnipresent.” Omniscience means, “all knowing and all-knowing being.” Omnipotence is a necessary attribute of God as He can know all things and have all knowledge. Since God is omnipresent, all things that He knows and has knowledge of are also omnipresent with Him.

Omnipotence means “the ability to do anything.” God’s omnivocity and omnipotence allow Him to do whatever He wishes without consequences. This is obviously the most frightening and unachievable feature of God. Omniscience removes any need for faith in God.

The theistic evolutionist philosophy teaches that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omniscient in all attributes. But it should be noted that God does not have the power to act in ways that we do not believe are possible. This is the great paradox of religion and theism. Theists must reconcile this paradox by supposing that God does not have the power to do what they claim God does, and then trying to attribute attributes to God that are inconsistent with such beliefs.

When A says something like, “God is omnipotent because I see Him,” and B says something like, “I see God because I am aware of Him,” then they are both contradicting each other. Each attribute’s God as a power that is not available to B. Each attribute’s God as a being who is totally separate from himself. We have used the word “attributes” to describe attributes that can be observed or touched, while “powers” are ones that cannot be seen or touched.

Theists claim that God is omnipotence, omniscience, omniscient, and omnipresent, with all of those attributes defined in a single word, omnipotence. They further claim that God transcends time and space so that all things are equally as He wants them to be, including humans. The problem is that they contradict themselves. Everything that has been done by humans demonstrates that God is omnipotent in time and space. And humans have demonstrated that they are persons created in God’s image, which includes a personhood which is superior to that of angels.

Omnipotence is not an attribute of God. God cannot be omnipotent, since nothing is omnipotent. Omnipotence is attributed to God because it is an idea that has been brought into philosophy by God, according to the Bible. The idea that God is omnipotent is therefore false. God does not have the attributes of omnipotence.

Omniscience is another attribute that has been associated with God, but this is also false. Omniscience means knowledge; but it does not mean that God knows all things. God does not know all things because He does not think; He simply chooses to think that everything is possible. So, for God to be omniscient, He would have to believe that everything is possible, but He doesn’t and His omniscience doesn’t allow Him to do that.

Omniscience, however, does allow God to know every detail as possible about the universe. This is attributed to God, because God uses numbers, dates, times, etc., in order to create His universe. That is how He knows all of the details. So, for God to be Omniscient, He would need to think like a scientist and use scientific methodologies in order to create His universe – through the laws of physics, for example. So, although many attribute these attributes to God, they are actually attributes that attribute only to God – not to matter in general.
