and the notion of 'free will' would be non-existent for those. :)
btw, here's a question for you...i define free will not as having options,
but knowing one has option from which to choose. bible scholars claim god
gives free will. i say he perhaps created options - if i aside my distain
for the premise due to lack of evidence. satan, having tempted adam and eve,
would have actually been the one who gives free will. once he got adam and
eve to eat from the tree of knowlege of good and evil, they'd have then
known that there were options from which to choose. it seems that god,
forbidding them from eating said fruit, didn't want adam and eve to have
such knowledge. further, if you were to argue that it was just knowlege of
'good' and 'evil', why would god create such a tree and put them in harm's
way of it. finally, i wonder by what genetic mechanism said knowlege
corrupts their decendants. surely we'll find that gene and save ourselves
eventually by just turning it off...ROFL.
