Proof six of Fifty Proofs: Ponder God's Plan

  • Does 'Ponder God's Plan' — the claim that God pre-planned everything, including abortions — prove God is imaginary?

The hosts read godisimaginary.com's proof number six, Ponder God's Plan: if God pre-plans every life per Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life (citing Psalm 139:16), then God planned every abortion and Hitler was blameless. The hosts counter that foreknowledge is not predestination, the psalm is poetic rather than a theological instruction manual, and David's 'ordained days' reflects his specific calling as king, not a universal deterministic script. Verdict: possibly his best argument so far — but it does not prove God is imaginary, only at most that Warren's statement is misread.
