Rebellious. Take 'em to the city gate and have them stoned.

OR...

This is a summary of one of the points from the book "The God Who Risks"

"God does not possess foreknowledge in the traditional sense; he knows only the past and present, both exhaustively-a view called "presentism." Except for the relatively small number of things he has predetermined to do, God's only "knowledge" of the future is derivative, resulting either from his determination and promises to act in certain ways or from his reading of past and present personalities and events."

- Robert Picirilli giving his view of what was said in the book, which he disagrees with.

Wrong question. Your syllogism equated to the following:

"What is the meaning of life (L), the Universe (U) and Everything (E)."

So we have x=L+U+E

Reducing it all down to the lowest common denominator (a common feature of our lives, our universe and everything) and factoring the result with interminable plagues and legions of poorly trained hair stylists will give the result of x=42.

Right answer, wrong question? Story of my life!
