- A God who exists in time might seem to resolve problems of human free will because the future is not fixed in this model
- People can make genuine free choices about what to do next, and no one knows what they will choose, not even God.
- If God cannot be mistaken, then even if God is predicting rather than knowing our choices
- He will always predict correctly, which might not be very different from knowing with certainty
